Sometime ago in fact many years ago we had a raccoon that showed up at our house in Old Chatham, New York. Someone had raised him clearly, and he was still very young. He wanted to be held, and when he did, he would purr and fall asleep in our lap. We never contained him. He was free to go and come whenever he wanted and we spent much time with him for a season and that was it. He was fun and we have nice memories of him. We named him Roscoe. I came across a photo that reminded me of him and I decided to paint him and re-create the photo that was taken so many years ago.
