A Mouse at Peace

One sunny summer’s day, my art group settled down to practicing its favourite pastime.  Fruit was the subject.  I was allocated two pears to paint, but … I was not inspired.  I thought : why not have some fun … !  And this was the result.  It never fails to cheer me up!

And did you know that field mice in the UK have pale bellies and long tails? So I learned recently!  (It’s not a house mouse – all brown! It’s not a wood mouse – have long feet!  There is something to learn everyday on Planet Shena!)
