Spring is Almost Here

"All Ears"

At least it looks like it around here....with lots of trees beginning to bloom and temperatures slowly coming back to mild. This cute fellow was in my back yard last year. He has to be quick and clever because my dog, Bosley, likes to chase him off. Fortunately for me, I was able to get some pics before he took off again.

In Honor of the Easter Bunny

I did this one a while ago....I am still really scrambling here with other obligations. But since it is the Easter Season...the renewal of our spirits, plants and animals after the cold winter, I thought it would be fun to look at this guy again. He is inspired by the rabbits I saw on the greenway in Colorado Springs the last time I was there. This turned out more stylized than I wish. When I have nothing but a distant memory to paint from, that seems to be the outcome. I have another rabbit I'll post soon that is the real deal...a cute backyard visitor that I was able to photograph before he hopped away.
