Mike Keepness paints in the wilds of Saskatchewan, Canada, so he has some plein air stories. Usually, his visitors are quite benign, like last week….

Keepness was painting a nice winter scene with a winding road when a chirping muskrat crossed the road and investigated his truck and his setup. The artist kept his wits about and filmed the event.
