Winter Rabbit (489)

"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.
