Mice are definitely farm critters and everywhere on the farm where I have my studio. Luckily, not in the farmhouse, but they do show up occasionally in the gardens and in the greenhouse. Being elusive mostly nocturnal critters they do not make good models. So the  illustrations are done from memory.

Often one of my assignments will require a bit of "travel research".
I illustrated a little book in '09 that required me to research Argentina...the food, the geology, the landscape/plants, a bit of history, and, of course, about the Argentine cowboy... the gauchos.

His cat is a farm cat but loves to sneak food from Pat's gourmet farm kitchen.

Rattlesnakes are dependent on caves, man's excavations or animals to make a den for them to breed and survive the colder weather in.
