Description

10:30 pm • Somewhere in the Northwoods a Star Nosed Mole tunnels. It adeptly digs and claws through the dirt, aerating as it goes. The Star Nosed Mole is like a farmer and a fisherman. He tills the soil (from below) and harvests the odd bugs. He builds passageways in the dirt with tunnels leading to the water where he can then swim around harvesting even more bugs, larvae, leeches, and small fish. This little guy is a hard worker but knows how to live it up.
 
To be honest I think Star Nosed Mole look fairly weird but I also find them to be fascinating. I wanted to paint this sweet dude in the prettiest way possible, and in doing so I came to appreciate his appearance and tenacity so much more.
 
Featured flora and fauna • Club Mushroom, White Campion, Star Nosed Mole, Luna Moth, Ghost Pipe
