These were some of my earliest mice that I painted. When I lived in NY. I used to see holes in the grass that you could tell were used by Meadow Voles or Mice. I sketched this little study and somehow it became one chubby mouse sitting and the other either singing or talking excitedly to his friend! He’s standing on his tip-toes.

Now I live in the UK and still I see these little holes in the grass everywhere. They always wake my imagination and I wonder where the little owners are going when they come out?
