A very emotional painting to complete.
I lost Cookie Mouse in October of last year, just a few months shy of her 2nd birthday.
She was the sweetest and most gentle mouse. I’m so grateful for the time we got to spend together, though I wish it was much longer. She will always be dearly missed ❤️

Continuing with my mouse portrait series, here comes Pim! 🐭
Pim is the sweet and confident leader of the group. She’s looked after the others from day one, and when I’m spot-cleaning or making any updates to their home, you bet she’ll be there asserting herself and letting me know who’s boss.

Sunbear is my little climber and adventurer!
She loves nothing more than to climb hoodies and perch on shoulders. She'll also do anything for a piece of Rice Krispies cereal (no marshmallows of course!)
More often than not I call her by her Polish nickname, Misiaczek, which means "little bear" 🐻

My mouse Kret was the perfect model for this painting. She and her sisters Pim and Sunbear love nothing more than to spend their days snuggled up in this mushroom hide.

Sometimes the best way to remember a place is to paint it!
I based this study on a photo I took just outside of Ferndale while exploring Humboldt County. I love using studies like this to sit in a memory and recapture the feeling of a place.
