Lucy has lost her favorite doll. Meanwhile, Mrs. Mole is delighted to have such an important guest for tea. I don’t know what it is that I have for doing kitchen scenes lately, but at least this one is a little bit different. And for the record, moles don’t actually eat vegetables, but then they don’t have tea and cookies either, right?

Creating good color composition has always been the most challenging part of my art. Well and values too. Here I tried to juxtapose the cooler evening colors with the warmer colors of Mrs. Mole’s cozy little home. I wonder how Lucy is ever going to find her doll!
