A very cute and adorable creature you have painting here. I love the expression you captured on his face, and the overall detail in this work. Quite impressive...

I love your pointillism drawings, Lucien, especially for soft little creatures like this little mouse. The color, design and composition of this drawing are wonderful - very soft and pleasing to the eye. ~roberta

Roberta,
there are a very limited amount of these prints left. so if you want one for your wall; nows the time to purchase one, and have a limited edition Lucien van Oosten print of your very own. (how's that for a sales pitch?) thank you for your time and the nice comments... truly appreciated by me on all counts... take care and cheers

Comment from beaubear
This is fabulous. Love the position and the textures are wonderful. The design and composition are really unique. The texture really brings out the details.

Comment from KiwiRawles
Great traditional artwork here. Felt it may have needed darker areas, or at least when scanned, added some sats or contrast? Just my thoughts. A great drawing though by all means. He sure looks inqisitive.

I think the reduction of the scan in oder to post does not always pick up all the subtle difference in tional quality, but its there.
Cheers!

Comment from tuckerkao
The textural movements flow quiet smoothly from one corner to the next where you find the delicate impacts applied to the theme where the little mouse begins to eat the fruits.

Again another piece of beauty. I feel you definitely captured the mouse and his surrounding very well. Your shading, depth and detail are very good. Nice job.

Comment from Iconoclast
Wonderful work Lucien. Takes awhile to create something this intricate eh? But a pay-off like this makes the effort worthwhile. I love pen and ink. Durer would pat u on the back for this one.

Comment from Janrique
Well Lucien it is a delight to see your work again and marvel at its finery and your incredible determination and attention to detail. Your portrait of the deer mouse is terrific - so expressive.

trake care and thanks... cheers!

Comment from mikesblender
Hard to believe you got that much detail with just dots! I'm wondering what a radiograph pen is though, and how long this took you to do?

mikesblender,
the rapidagrah is a special pen that has a cartridge where you hold the ink, it has a little tube for a tip, they come in different mm sizes. that way you are not constantly dipping into an in bottle to replenish the ink on the tip of the pen. just makes it easier to do this style of work.
thanks for the time and the review of this work, this one... about 120 hours from begining to end. take care and cheers!
Lucien
