A to Z Challenge
Well, I decided to do a painting a day for the A to Z Challenge. When life gets in the way, it becomes harder than I thought it might be. That happened today, but I created a painting anyway.In keeping with the Easter season, I thought "B" for Bunny was most appropriate. I fished out some photos I took several years ago in Colonial Williamsburg. While watching re-en-actors make bricks out of clay like they did in the days of the first colonists, I noticed a small brown bunny nearby. Excited at the closeup potential, I pulled out my digital camera and took several shots before it shied away. I was happy to have these photos for reference material today.
The painting is 11" x 14" acrylic on stretched canvas.

Awwww---what a cutie! You have talent. My artwork makes it clear my skills seized in about third grade.
ReplyDeleteI thought doing book w/ excerpts was tough! I can't imagine doing paintings. GREAT theme! Something totally unique from what I've seen so far.
