Cup leads Saucer by five whiskers!!

Artist's Notes: I've had this little pic tucked away since last January!! I don't know why it took me this long to post!

Cup, saucer, snow - my own. (Interesting side note. I had this idea for the chipmunks last winter. I tried working with pre-existing photographs of teacups and saucers, but nothing was really working. Then I had to laugh at myself... because all I had to do was take one of my own teacup sets, go out in the snow that was blanketing the whole yard, set the props on a little hill the way you see them in this manipulation - and snap my own stock of it. Even though I have a stock account, I sometimes forget how easy it is to set up my own scenes if I just take a bit of time. But it is so worth it in the end! )

LOL Thank you Jada!! I can't believe it took me months to post this. I've always loved it, and just kinda forgot about it on my hard drive. I giggle every time I see that one chipper glancing over at his opponent too. lol

So cute, imaginative and stunning.
I just can't believe that the teacup is leading the saucer with all that extra drag.

Fantastic as always - but very different from your usual stuff!!!

It looks like a "traditional art" sort of painting, from the white frame to the canvas texture. I had to check the "categories" to be sure. I specially like the mix of colours/textures of the background.

Now I wish I were a squirrel!! I so love the happy face of the foreground one.
