This is a print from one of Daniel's oil pastel works.
A fluffy orange cat and a small light brown mouse face off over an old-fashioned clay jar. The cat greedily puts his paws over the jar’s top. While the mouse touches the side as if to ask for more.
In “Cat and Mouse in Partnership”, one of the stories in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, a cat and a mouse agree to work together and store a jar of fat in a church to eat during the winter. The cat however schemes to eat it by attending made up christenings for kittens, saying that he is to be the godfather. Of course, he’s just eating from the jar. At the end, when the mouse discovers the cat’s duplicity, the cat eats him.
From the artist: a few months before making this, I read the first edition of Grimm’s Fairy Tales. One of the first stories in the book was “Cat and Mouse in Partnership”. I enjoyed it and thought it would be fun to do an illustration.
The original is a 9” x 12” mixed media work on archival quality sanded paper. The majority of the work was made with Sennelier oil pastels with detail work done using Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils.
Thanks for looking,

This print (fulfilled by Printful) has a partly glossy, partly matte finish and it'll add a touch of sophistication to any room.
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
Considerations:
• Prints may seem a bit darker than what you see on the screen as the print is not illuminated the way a computer monitor is.
• Depending on the size selected, some cropping may occur.
• The print is unframed and will be shipped rolled in a tube.
• As the print is created when you order, please allow 2-3 weeks for printing and shipping.
• Because the print is created on demand, I do not accept returns; however, if there is a problem with your order, please contact us and we will work with you to remedy any issues.
