The theme this week for Illustration Friday was “Star Gazing.” Starry skies are high on my list of things I love to draw, so how could I resist doing this one? So I painted Norton, and a friend out at night looking up at the sky. Maybe they are wondering if the rumors about the moon being made of cheese is real. In my mind the second mouse is Molly, but she doesn’t look very white is this picture. Maybe she got a little dirty on her climb up the hill.
Watercolors, with details finished in acrylics and color pencil. 5×7 on watercolor paper, close to 2 hours.
