While walking my bichon frise Summer one morning, my neighbor stopped to show me a photo of a rabbit that we believe has been eating our flowers. It hasn't been proven in court yet, but the evidence is stacking up.
She got a good close-up as he was right outside her window. When I asked to paint him, she generously sent me her photo. After cropping in and playing with color I came up with "Woodland Bunny".

He's painted on gatorboard treated with an Art Spectrum Terracotta pastel surface. I love the way the color pops when you use cools on a warm surface. He's a charming little rascal. People on facebook have asked for cards or prints. I'll be making some cards soon.
The Rabbit is an astrological animal in China linked to the moon and good fortune. Maybe my Woodland Rabbit will be lucky for me!
Thanks for reading my blog.
