Testing out my old watercolors on some Fishers (from photo ref), trying to start using them again. It's a lot of fun even if I'm rusty.

Fishers are small mustelids native to the northern U.S. and much of the boreal forests in Canada. They were wiped out in Washington (my home state) due to fur trapping but are making a comeback thanks to local reintroduction efforts. The name is misleading due to the fact that fisher's aren't known to actually favor or prey on fish. They're omnivores whose primary diet involves rabbits, porcupines, nuts and berries. The word fisher instead comes from a colonial dutch word for polecat
