Clarabelle's Secret



I love raccoons. Something about their cunning intelligence, their bright eyes shining mischievously through their dark masks. In pictures, they look so cute and cuddly, in reality, they are huge and can be completely evil.

I thought they would make a perfect backdrop for Clarabelle, the perfect guardians of her nasty little secret. Included is the daguerreotype photo that served as inspiration for the painting. Surly, pensive, just a hint of anger... I wonder what this little girl's secret could be?
