A watercolor artwork featuring woodland creatures having a picnic. In the foreground stands a sign with a note tacked on that says "this way to tea!". The checkered picnic blanket features tea and treats and is surrounded by a white mouse in a pink tutu holding a cup of tea, a round hedgehog with a green pointed hat eating a strawberry, and a brown shrew in a bonnet and blue dress carrying a pie. A grassy mound with a round wooden door sits in the background, and all around the creatures are tall blades of grass, flowers, and mushrooms.

I enjoy trying to capture the whimsy of the natural world with watercolor and ink.
