bison and mice!

these are 2 little paintings i have completed recently. they are on etsy:

majestic bison, watercolor and ink, 4x4":

mouse knight, watercolor and ink, 4x4":


i just love bison. well, and mice too, though i think the mouse fondness is a better known fact about me. i can't really imagine an animal more noble than a bison. they are so enormous and stately. if i saw one close up, i would want to run up to it and throw my arms around it, like lucy and susan do to aslan in the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. though i suppose the bison would probably attempt to gore me if i did that. but really they look so .. cuddly, and fierce, at the same time. i think this place, america, must have been a much finer place when they were great herds of bison roaming around.
