Shrew

Picture

​Shrew
 When I worked as an archaeologist, I would often come to the excavation site in the morning to discover a shrew or two in my excavation unit (pit). I would put a long tree branch into the pit, long enough to allow the shrews to climb out. When I returned a few minutes later, the shrews were always gone. It was the easiest way to to help them out and the least distressful for all involved.
​This was part of my small animals' illustrations series. 10 pieces were created in this series of which one was stolen, and I gave two away. The remaining 7 pieces have been uploaded to my portfolio website. These proved popular with art directors. I chose a 19th Century etching plate style for all of these animal series pieces.
