This is a special piece I did for Topsail Hill State Park and Preserve. The Choctawhatchee beach mouse is listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the State of Florida. Critical habitat is designated along 12.6 miles of coast in Walton and Bay Counties, including Grayton Beach State Recreation Area and Topsail Hill Preserve in Walton County, Shell Island and the mainland section of St. Andrew State Recreation Area in Bay County.
This is one of several Florida subspecies of oldfield mouse restricted to coastal sand dune ecosystems. These small, light-colored mice burrow and excavate nests within dune sand among sea oats, grasses, herbs and small shrubs. These burrows generally have a main hole and a second hole that is often used to escape a predator at or within the main entrance. Unlike the house mouse, beach mice are not known to live in buildings or frequent garbage sites. To learn more about these mice follow this link: http://www.beachtobay.org/html/ch...

Putting the fun in Fine Art! Welcome to my collection of whimsical art. I’m a lifelong artist, and no matter what style or subject I attempt, it always seems to have a bit of humor in it. I primarily work with acrylic paints and sculpting clay to create works of art you’re not likely to see anywhere else. I often do commission work, especially animal portraits, so drop me a message if you have an idea for a portrait. Enjoy browsing my collection here on “Fine Art America”. Commissioning your own painting with me is super easy. Why not surprise a loved one with an original portrait of a pet? Prices for an original painting created to your specifications start at $100. All paintings are museum-quality work, no matter the size....
