Whilst working on the Tauroggen convention, I am also working on this little piece, which I am finding very relaxing

Finished all the flowers, just the Hammock and some fine details on the Mouse to do.

Hopefully finished for the show on Saturday in Guildford.

Hmm, a hammock, coveralls, and a snooze. How very rural south. The only thing missing is a jug of corn squeezin's.


WELL DONE!

Hi Nicholas,

I must admit the subject is not my type of thing, but if I am ever lucky enough to have grand daughters I am sure that will change! Beautifully painted and with spring on the way, I can only hope we have the sort of days the mouse is enjoying...
