Rats are remarkably difficult to direct. I have tried -- clean surface, crisp clean paper, a palette full of paint, and Grace, the paint monster…
In such circumstances, she turns away, not remotely interested, and runs off. Paint, for rats, is like certain drugs for humans, an illicit pleasure. When you make it licit, it’s not fun anymore.
Most of it ended up on the floor, and it is my studio, where paint on the floor is no big thing, so it’s okay, really. I liked that green though. I wish they’d picked a colour I didn’t like.
Rats!
Is there a huge mess?
I love metallics!
Oh yes, there’s a sizable mess. A little paint goes a very long, large way!
There is a market for animal-made art.
If
youthey sold some on eBay the little rotters could pay for their own paint.??
Sell the art not the rats.
Obviously.

The paint comes in on little rat feet… I hope they didn’t leave too wide-spread of a mess for you.

At least the rat poo will be sparkling
Yes, that it will!
