Monday Mural

Linking to SamiSami and others for Monday Mural. 

A rat or a possum? Is it holding a pair of scissors? Is it holding a skull? Is the cut branch significant? Was the branch cut with the scissors? So many questions without answers.

  1. Lots of questions. I like the trees reflected in the pupil of the eye though. And lean towards a rat. Definitely a dirty rat with the skull and the weapon...

  2. That's some trippy artwork! Maybe you could ask Hippie Niece. ~grin~ My husband and I looked up the name for baby opossums here in the United States and were quite delighted that our local marsupials share the name of joey. It makes sense. Blessings, my dear.

  6. Looks like the dark animal is the possum and the tan one is

  7. Aren't possums supposed to "play possum", i.e., pretend they're dead to avoid an enemy? This one is armed and ready to fight their enemy. I say rat.

  8. It's a thought provoking mural that's for sure Andrew.

  9. I'll say possum because I don't think rat ears are that long. I don't like it and don't know why.

  10. The farmer's wife has come to cut off the tail - though it's not blind and doesn't look like a mouse!

  11. Looks a bit scary, specially with a pair of scissors in hand :) Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew.

  12. My vote is for a skinny rat with a dangerous weapon, Andrew. Wish we knew the story.

  13. And is there significance in the three trees reflected in the rat/possum's eye?

  14. Nature is going to take revenge??? Dunno.
