Description

Created with Wacom tablet and PSP7. Australian Bush Rat - Rattus fuscipes (aka Bogul). This is a painted portrait of a resident of our yard, we have had a breeding pair for a few years. We place bird seed out for them every night. And just on dusk we get to see them scamper out of the bushes with their latest batch of youngens for a feed. While they have had residence in tunnels under our tadpole pond we have not had any mice or rats come into our house. Prior to these we would get rodents come in off the nearby farms, gnawing their way through our house each winter.

I generally don't like rodents but I must say this is so cute. You've done a grand job in winning me over. Superb work.

Beautiful work. Her eyes are loaded with life and she is being very attentive before striking out for a meal. Finely crafted image.

Always good to see you around! I like this little fella, a perfect capture of that look of petrified curiousity. We don't really get bush rats here, but we've got a few brush tail possums on one side (who treat the fence as a highway) and a ring-tail on the other (who treats the power lines as a highway).
