North American Woodland Mouse
My favorite work is painting reflections and dewdrops. The work is tedious and boring but in a weird perverse way satisfying. If you have ever ran long distance or sat long meditation retreats you have an idea why I love detail work. In between the moments of boredom and pain from intense concentration there is delight and it feels so good when you are done! I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I did painting it!
Fall is mushroom season here in America. Where I come from, the Pacific Northwest we all go out into the Douglas Fir forest and pick our favorite mushroom. This little mouse is going to have a Candy Cap for dinner.
Check out the links below, I have the evolution of the painting and a funny story about some mice that were stealing grain from my chicken feed buckets.
Have A Great Weekend!
