About this work

This painting shows a cartoon mouse flying above a yellow industrial building. The mouse is holding onto a string that leads down to the building. The building has four tall white chimneys and a long, flat roof. The mouse is drawn in a simple, cartoonish style, while the building is rendered in more detail. The overall effect is one of whimsy and contrast between the playful mouse and the industrial landscape. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy the work of artist Brian Barnes.
