Horned Toad

5.5x7.5 watercolor on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper done over the weekend for the Facebook page All Animals Watercolor.  A prompt word for this week was TOAD so I chose the lowly, much aligned west Texas critter known here as a horny toad we don't see many of anymore.  They feast on red ants so I've stopped killing the those and the horned toads have come back around my studio at least.
