Mouse Project - Work in progress

Here's a bit from my Mouse Project painting. Instead of showing the whole painting as I progress I decided to post 'teasers'.

The Mouse is close to completion. This is just a small part of the 12 x 16 painting

The Mouse Project

Nosey Mouse, bronze by Steve Worthington

A while back I heard about The Mouse Project and I knew I had to get in on it.  Sculptor Steve Worthington asked about 20 artists to paint a still life that includes one of his bronze mice. These paintings will then be collected into a book, and profits from it's sale will go to support animal shelters.

I finally started my still life yesterday. No, the mouse on my printer is not the still life set up that I'm painting. I just wanted you to see the little guy that will be featured in my painting "Mine is a Long and Sad Tale". Stay tuned for further updates.
