Felipe the Flaming Salamander by Meg Lyman
15×20″ gouache on illustration board
SOLD
Don’t have much time tonight, since I’m driving to Ohio at 6am tomorrow. Here he is finished, although I didn’t spend much time color-correcting. I’m not sure how I feel about this piece yet. I am sure is my hand is happy to be not painting anymore. And sure of the relief that it is, actually, done.
Suggestions welcome. If he doesn’t sell, I can always make changes!

This is awesome!! The expressions on the other salamander and the burro made me laugh. Love how you’ve gotten that special “glow” that only a flaming salamander eating a taco can have.

Thanks, everyone!
Rita, I didn’t even know flaming taco-eating salamanders had a special glow until last week. Amazing, the things you learn while doing art!
Kasie, thanks so much – it’s a great compliment.
Jennifer, getting their eyes right took some rework, but I’m glad it paid off. :D
Angela, thank you! Expressions are becoming easier for me after painting so many mouth-less cephalopods. ;)
K_t…. ha! He could rent himself out as a campfire!
