A rat in a mink. Its amazing how the appeal of an animal can change when clothed in thick plush fur and given a fluffy tail. These characteristics are unique amongst the murids (rats and mice) and serve to keep the cloudrunner warm in its high altitude home of pine and moss forest.
This painting is from the Animalia Ornata series, a collection specifically designed for the Studio Schouten website.
