Mint the Theatre Scenepainter | Red Panda Artist Adoptable
Mint is an original anthropomorphic red panda who paints scenery for a small theater. With a long brush in hand, Mint works on a mint-green crescent moon against a deep plum backdrop. The lamplight on the workshop’s wooden fittings softens the contrast between the painted night and the room.

The story of Mint the Theatre Scenepainter
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
The stage crew brings Mint the same great canvas at the beginning of every season. It has been a mountain pass, a castle wall and the inside of an imaginary cave. When the troupe asks for a moon, Mint starts with a wide patch of dark color, then takes several steps back to see how much of the crescent the audience will be able to read.
The brush gives the figure a strong line of action without obscuring the face. Spots of old paint on the apron suggest that the work has been going on for much longer than this one evening. The red panda’s striped tail and warm fur stand apart from the cooler backdrop and help anchor the figure in the room.
On opening night, Mint usually waits in the wings until the first change of scenery. The same moon can look much larger when the stage light hits it from below. In a story, that small surprise might be the first hint that a painted backdrop can show something the theater crew has never seen before.
