A red squirrel stands upright behind a tree, one bright eye fixed on something just out of frame. Autumn leaves swirl around her in a blaze of red and amber, her russet coat almost dissolving into the fiery background — nature’s perfect camouflage, if only she weren’t quite so curious. It’s a painting full of energy and charm, capturing the spirit of one of Britain’s most beloved and elusive mammals.
Secret Curiosity is part of Rosie Smith’s Half Hidden series — a collection of wildlife portraits capturing British animals half-concealed in their natural habitat.
Rosie Smith is a UK-based wildlife and conservation artist working in watercolour and oils, whose paintings capture both the beauty and vulnerability of the natural world. A finalist in the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year and Sketch for Survival, she is committed to using art as a voice for conservation — contributing work to projects including the Big Elephant Auction with Explorers Against Extinction. This giclée print is taken from one of her original oil paintings.
