Beady eyes and lovely little hands, and the colouring works very well indeed.

This is so good!

It’s a superb piece Marjorie, beautifully done.

Really well done.

What a sweet little mouse. Well done.

Posted by Denise Cat on Tue 02 Jun 19:22:12

This little chap stands out so well, his hands reaching out from the canvas. Well I think they’re hands and so do mice. At least that’s what they tell me!

Brilliantly done 👏👏👏

Posted by Martin Norford on Tue 02 Jun 19:50:32

Great stance Marjorie and the hands make the mouse look so vulnerable. Challenge well met.

Super little fella, love those whiskers.

I can almost see his whiskers twitching, super painting.

Posted by Lynn Parkins on Wed 03 Jun 08:53:56

He / she looks very cute and furry Marjorie. I see a few darting about in the rockery 😁

He / she, or someone like this little mouse, lives in the wall outside my window. Every evening it pops out… My forum challenge. Pencil and pastel.
