Leopold Leopard Frog is a character I created over the years. Where I lived in New York, there were lots of wetlands on my property and they were full of frogs. I had different kinds but one was the Leopard Frog, with it’s gorgeous bronze and green skin and spots all over it. He’s kind of a dapper fella, likes to read by the fire and wears a velvet evening jacket.

In the background you see he has a framed picture, it’s actually a scene from the Lake District I have seen and sketched myself! How fun to add things like this.
