More rabbits!
Have you ever seen rabbits in the wild playing? We were out walking a while ago in a large recreational park - we rounded a corner and saw an amazing sight. Little rabbits playing tag - they didn't hear us and we stood and watched for a while, I've never seen anything quite like it! They were chasing each other around in circles so fast they were creating dust, jumping so high and absorbed in their little game - completely oblivious to our presence. I tried painting what I saw from memory, but felt it didn't capture what I saw very well, so I traced the painting in Illustrator and worked with it a bit. The end result was much more playful, I am so happy with how they turned out! I will be listing them in Etsy soon.. I think I'm going to try printing on some very fancy art paper, I was saving it for reproductions of my paintings.. but I'm curious to see how these rabbits look on it!

Growing up in Oregon I'd spend weekends at my dad's cabin in the forest. One of my favorite games was 'bunny seeking' and then 'bunny chasing.' You perfectly captured their spirit.
ReplyDeleteAwww. A cabin in the forest.. bunnies - that sounds so perfect! Where I come from.. on a farm - rabbits were a pest.. they were illegal to keep, but now we've moved states its not illegal - if we were allowed them in our rental house I think I would have a few! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen i baby sat as a teenager the family had bunnies (along with ferrets, birds, a kitten and a pug... I spent more time chasing after animals than I did children). They were great pets!
