Mouse with Mushrooms
A few days ago I was in the mood to take requests. Elaethyra asked for a mouse sitting on a mushroom using another mushroom as an umbrella. Well, the rainy April weather’s been particularly inspiring for that sort of piece, so here you go.
I was playing with Kyle’s Real Watercolor brushes, which are rather impressive Photoshop brushes.
Revised Illustration
So, I asked for critiques on this and thank you so much for the suggestions. I made some changes and here’s the revised illustration.
Leveret
Here’s leveret photos I took the weekend before last.
This little guy (and two others) were hiding under a plume of ornamental grass in my backyard. Hubby found them when he went to trim it. So, I laid in the grass for awhile taking pictures. They were too little to know what to think of me and didn’t run off like they should have. They were actually pretty good models and even let me move grass and leaves off of them to get a better shot. Even when they did eventually get fed up with me and ran, I just picked them up and put them back and took more pictures.
They were actually more patient than my own kids.
Eventually I let them go with (probably) a rather confused idea of what humans want from hares.

Baby Hare in the Tall Grass
It’s spring. So, I poked around under the tall grass in the corner of the yard. And, sure enough, look what I found! A baby hare.

The Tortoise and The Hare – Hidden Picture – Final
And here’s the end result. I’ll set it aside for a week or so and look at it again once the newness wears off and make any changes it needs. Then I’ll send it off. 🙂
