Miss Mouse... carbon and graphite pencil on paper, 6x9, prints available, double matted
The Story Behind the Image: Miss Mouse is our neighborhood cat. We say she is a "free spirit." She never lets anyone get too close and only comes around if she thinks there is a meal for her. Miss Mouse and her family live in the big storm sewer pipe that drains into the branch near my home. I worry about her and her little family because when it rains this pipe drains all the water from the streets...but somehow she always knows just when to move her kittens to higher ground!
On this day I used my telephoto lens and got this wonderful shot of her "shopping" for her own meal. Crouched down in the grass, stalking a bird...all you could see was her head. She definitely had lunch on her mind. I just love the intensity in her eyes and I tried to catch the intensity of her gaze in my drawing.
The drawing Miss Mouse is on cream toned fine art paper and presented in a double mat. It is offered in Limited Edition Prints and Artist Proofs...check my Portfolio for availability of the Original and prices.
