An Evening Glow on Dormouse Home Painting

On a mild evening I made my way to a honey suckle I had seen earlier in the day with the hope of seeing the illusive dormouse. I had spotted the nest tangled in the grasps of the honeysuckle, itself beautiful with its striking purple and white flowers sprigged with yellow stamens. I waited patiently as the evening closed in and all that was left, was the last light casting a deep blue glow all around . I was giving up hope as light was fading, when a small nose and large black button like eyes poked its ways out of the nest. Slowly and cautiously it emerged and clambered up the honeysuckle, it paused looking in my direction and carried on its way to find its delights of the night. I felt truly honored and wish to share the moment within this piece of art, in the hope that we will do more to preserve and protect dormice habitats. A number of techniques were used to create the piece including fabric painting, embroidery, quilting and three dimensional textiles techniques. This piece has been professionally framed, with a white mount and white wood grain box frame, with clear glass. It is ready to hang. It measures: Height: 33.5cm, Width: 24.5cm, Depth: 2.5cm, in its frame it measures: Height: 41cm, Width: 32cm, Depth: 3cm.
