Twilight In The Lavender



The "boss of me" cracked the whip today and made me finish the bunny I started last week. It really went through a transition! When I started it, it looked like an angry something-or-other but NOT a bunny! So today I put away my references and just painted by intuition. He has a soft look, almost as if he's being lulled by the scent of the lavender field. I know I would be!
For now I'll list him on Etsy while I decide which shop should have him.

Cold, pouring rainy poopy day here in Barrington :(
But we need the rain to make the lavender grow!♥

  1. You've described his expression perfectly! I'd also add that he carries a certain wisdom in the eyes.

    Such lovely, soothing colors.

    Hoppity hop!

  4. He reminds me of Beatrix Potter and I expect him to start talking to me any minute now. An Art teacher once told me to look at your study and then put it way and just paint. Looks like it worked for you. He's a cutie.

  5. He DOES look like a Beatrix Potter Bunny....and a friend of Emily V.V. Rabbit! One day, I hope you will have the opportunity to illustrate children's books.... the world is missing out!

    Love,
