Toad Sketch



We’ve had a Woodhouse’s Toad (Bufo woodhousii) living on our property for at least 15 years.  They can live to 20 years, or more, in the wild…possibly longer. 

The size of my palm, with wrinkly brown/grey skin and looking somewhat prehistoric, s/he is very beneficial at keeping insect populations in check. 

Planning for a larger painting in this toad’s honor, I’ve been doing some sketches to work out the details.
