7 Red Squirrel Paintings That Really Show Their Personality

With their tufted ears, russet coats and quick, lively movements, red squirrels are among Britain’s most enchanting woodland creatures. But these animals are more than just beautiful creatures — each one has its own spark, from curiosity to cheekiness, from resilience to playful energy. I’ve painted them in all their moods and settings, capturing the traits that make them so enchanting.

1. Russet beauties

Squirrel of Formby | Limited Edition Print
This painting shows you how stunning that red coat really is. It features a resident of the Formby nature reserve in Merseyside, where a small colony of red squirrels still thrives.

2. Arboreal acrobats

Squirrel on Scots Pine | Bespoke Print Available on Request
Squirrels are incredible acrobats. This one, balancing high on a Scots pine as it munched on a hazelnut, was all agility and focus and I hope this painting reflects that grace and precision.

3. Friendly creatures

Red Squirrel in the Lake District
Perched on a mossy wall in the Lake District, this painting focuses on how friendly these animals can be. This one was scampering along a wall where a group of local residents often left hazelnuts and came up to see me.

4. Adapted for winter

Squirrel Nutkin | Limited Edition Print
Even in the crisp chill of winter, red squirrels endure. This painting features one snacking on a nut it had cached away ready for a cold day and celebrates their resilience.



5. Cheeky characters

Squirrels of Snaizeholme | Bespoke Print Available on Request
In Yorkshire’s Dales, a thriving colony at Snaizeholme inspired this painting. I was captivated by one cheeky squirrel with a slightly kinked tail — a true character.

6. Curious creatures

Inquisitive Squirrel | Bespoke Print Available on Request
Sunlit branches reveal this squirrel’s curiosity in full swing. Its alert eyes and twitching whiskers capture the playful, inquisitive side of the species.

7. Lively animals

Squirrel of Aviemore | Limited Edition Print
In Aviemore’s pine forests, red squirrels bounce and dart with endless energy. This painting celebrates their lively, spirited character in the Highlands.

Red squirrels are full of personality, each one a little woodland character. I hope these paintings give you a glimpse of their charm, energy, and spirit.
