This is the famous, or should I say infamous, Ms Stevie Mouse. She is hiding where she thinks she can't be seen by anyone. The little grey cat looks out into the room through a slightly open door. Her beautiful amber eyes glow with the reflected light, they almost match the wooden edges to doorway. Cats are said to have second sight and are sometimes portrayed in the company of witches. But this one, looking through from the other side, just looks serious. She is waiting for the best opportunity to leap out and cause mischief. Because that is what a Stevie Mouse does!
I rescued Stevie (a girl in spite of her name) when she was four weeks old. I found what I thought was a mouse dying in a puddle and it was her - or him as we thought she/he was ... it's complicated. 'He' was named Stevie Mouse and then when 'he' was three months old the vet realised we had a little girl. A great name anyway don't you think?
Born in the South of England I now live half way up a mountain in Umbria, Italy. I work from my art studio looking out over fabulous views of the Italian countryside. I am so happy to share my artwork with you.
