TESTING THE WATER


Painting completed in: 1989

To find an armadillo all we have to do is look out the back door after dark. The armadillo has become a popular animal in Texas in spite of his good looks. Some interesting armadillo trivia is that an armadillo can go underwater like a submarine and walk on the bottom or float like a cork to cross a stream and they always give birth to four babies of the same sex!
