Description Lest anyone think I've dropped out of sight...

This is based on an actual photograph.

NO, I did not scan it in first, this is all drawn by hand. (yes it is. )
This is something I'd usually do with acrylics.

Yes, there is a field mouse in there.

This is also what I call a stress breaker.

Great! I actually thought about putting two in there, just for grins. Maybe next time.
And thanks for the fave.

the mouse is so tiny and cute. the placing is suboptimal, it could easily be cropped off (eg in print), but otherwise lovely

Thanks. Yeah, I kind of wondered about it originally, but I let it stay

Amazing! I got him! Awesome work.
(Although you say it was a stress-breaker, I think painting something like this would only increase my stress levels... haha)

Admittedly, when I first started it, I could only work on it for 15 mins at a time. But as it got closer to being filled, it was easier to work on for longer periods of time.
Thanks.

Thank you. Actually the mouse is based on a kind of mouse they discovered here. It is indeed somewhat smaller than an actual field mouse, and while it isn't rare, it isn't common, either.
