Otter Snowslide

3 otters slide down a snowy slope beneath a bright aurora

Otters of all varieties are known for their playfulness and social natures. These three are making the most of a starry night beneath the aurora by sliding in the new-fallen snow.
a piece to celebrate fun & friendship; a gift for my bonus-sister
—> otters = family, fun, play, affection, bonds of love, etc.
—> did I mention winter is my favourite season? I wanted to do a slightly different take on the typical otters-playing-in-water idea that reflected the overlap between our childhood memories & the ways otters actually play, so I put them in the snow
—> evergreen branch in the corner w/ pinecones = longevity, growth, a promise of hope for the future
—> aurora in the skies: wonder, natural beauty, an ode to some of the art forms we share in common
