Description Ok it's a dumb title, it's not a fast mouse, it was a quickly painted mouse.

Speed painting, about 2 1/2 hours total.

We saw a mouse outside the grocery store yesterday. My son was fascinated, we followed it around for awhile It was so cute and so very tiny, the smallest mousie on running feet I've ever seen. I wonder if it was actually some sort of marsupial mouse, as it didn't look like any type of mouse I've seen before. Its body was barely two inches long, if that, and its head was gianormous by proportion! Maybe it was just a runty regular mousie?

He ran close to a group of people, and we held our breaths, afraid they would see him, afraid they would scare him into the shop (he was between them and the door, if someone had turned to walk in at that moment he would have been scared inside!) Luckily he scampered off safely down a path.

This doesn't look exactly like him he was too quick and quivery to get a real close up look. It's more of an impression of what he looked like...all head and fat fluffy body on impossibly small little footsies.

Thanks

You're brave to catch a wild mouse, I would be too scared of being bitten!

(sorry I haven't replied for so long, things have been hectic this last week )

Thanks...I've been worried about posting little sketchy things like this, but I love looking at other people's 'little' works, sketches and speed paintings, so thought it was time to start

Aww, it sounds adorable!! I like mice... I could handle one of them better than a spider, lol. Nice pic as well - he's got a really cute face!

I like them too, we have two pet rats we really love...I should do a little sketch of them sometime.

I wish I could have had a closer look at this little guy in RL, but he was running around too fast...this is probably far from accurate, but at least it was fun
