Cottontail - what's not to love?

Cottontail   oil/canvas   12 x 12 x .5

 Our grandchildren frequently ask about our favorite animals. (along with colors, and flavors of ice cream). For some unknown reason, W., age 3 has loved giraffes for seemingly years and can frequently be seen  wearing a giraffe costume.  R., age 5, will tell you that her recent favorite creature is axoloti, the Mexican walking fish.  

Mine is, and always has been, the rabbit.  Come spring, when I see rabbits in our yard, I feel that all is right with the world.  They represent new beginnings and the rebirth of nature.  I have painted them a few times.

Below is the one from last year.  

Cottontail is available at Hudson Fine Art and Framing in Hudson, Ohio.
