Fun fact: The red panda is the OG panda, given the name first. Giant pandas were described much later and earned their "panda" name because of the similarities the two species shared (even though they're not related).

This Red Panda Painting is an original piece by Katie Smith.

I created this piece to bring attention to this beautiful but endangered species.

DETAILS:

-oil painting
-Painted on 18x24" watercolor paper
