Mousetrap

8x5.5 watercolor on Strathmore Visual Journal mixed media paper, drawn with Pigma Micron 03 pen today while getting my hair styled.  I actually did two more sketches while waiting, so who says that's a waste of time...I can't wait until my mom sees this one as she has a phobia of mice.Image is COPYRIGHT 2013 Kay Smith.
