Minkey’s Artistic Day (Not For The Squeamish)
A few years ago, I went through art college and managed to land a Fine Arts Advanced degree With Honors. I have to admit, however, that Minkey is a more creative artist than I’ll ever be. I came home from school one day to discover that Minkey had somehow got a sheet of paper I’d been using to make a charcoal transfer from, and had Adapted it into his own interpretive piece of artwork.
He seemed to be busy smudging it. I was hugely entertained – till I saw the focal point of his piece de resistance.
A tiny fieldmouse, dead. I didn’t know whether to be more horrified that a mouse had made it in from the winter snows, or amazed because Minkey was doing a Salvador Dali.
I sent several photos of his antics to my drawing teacher, who didn’t deign to reply.
Personally, I think he was just jealous.
