"Winter Rabbit (489)", oil on canvas, 16x20" (41x51cm). For sale on Etsy. |
We've had plenty of snow in central Indiana this winter. While the snow was on the ground, I saw plenty of rabbit tracks, but no rabbits. The rabbit in this painting was conjured up from my imagination. I tried to make it look nervous, lean, and cold. The rabbit is resting for a moment, but blink or move too close and it will be gone again in an instant.
While I worked on the painting, I viewed rabbit artworks made by an eclectic array of other artists, including Natee Utarit, Joseph Cornell, Luc Tuymans, and, especially, Judith Linhares.
