Artist's Comments

Rat was so beautiful that it drove Crow, the jealous lover, out of his mind.
Eventually he was driven so insane by the whole world looking at Rat that he imprisoned Rat in a bottle.
In the middle of nowhere.
A couple of times a year, he would fly to look admire how beautiful his rat in a bottle was, then fly away again, leaving Rat as a prisoner for all eternity.

This picture moves me; saddens me. Poor Rat, I wish to lift up the glass.

Beautifully done. Glass is so hard to paint realistically (for me, anyway) and you have done an excellent job of it.

i actually started painting this when seth and i lost or beloved rat schnolgo...i needed to paint a rat, but i felt so, so sad. i think that's why i ended up with such a sad rat picture. i also thnk that's why rat is in a bottle - i wished i could preserve my rat forever, so schnolgo would be with us forever. but just that tiny bit out of reach...like the other side of some glass.
