Squirrel Pen & Ink Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

Squirrel | Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

This is Gene at his most charming. The Squirrel sits alert, bushy tail curled behind it, eyes bright with that unmistakable mix of curiosity and wariness. Fine pen & ink linework captures the texture of the fur and the delicate sweep of the tail, while soft watercolor washes give the coat its warm reddish-brown tones. It's a small, characterful portrait that feels alive on the page.

Squirrels are among the most widely recognized mammals in North America, found everywhere from city parks and residential neighborhoods to forests and woodlands across the continent, including the high-elevation pine forests of the American Southwest. Their bushy tails aid in balance and communication, and their nimble climbing and leaping abilities make them a constant source of entertainment. As omnivores, they eat nuts, seeds, fruits, insects, and occasionally small creatures — and they play a vital role in seed dispersal and woodland regeneration.
