Tarsier and The Rainforest Crawlies

by Kelley Hensing

In recent years I’ve really enjoyed creating drawings of “strange but true” little creatures out there. This is one of those drawings, based on the tarsier. This wide-eyed animal is one of the smallest known primates and can be found living in the trees amongst the islands of Southeast Asia. They feast on all kinds of insects, along with other smaller vertebrates.

Art: color pencils on quality paper

Art Size: 5 x 7 in, with double mat (gray/blue-black colors with gold embellishment added by me), basic/new frame in gray wood. Total size including mat/frame is 10 x 12 inches.
