BUNNIES

     OK, these bunnies were pretty busy getting ready for Easter and all. Coloring eggs, making chocolate bunnies, hipping and hopping down the bunny trail, etc. I managed to talk them into sitting for a quick painting. While I was doing the painting, I learned that the brown bunny on the left was from Ethiopia and still had family back there. The larger fluffy one was a grandfather and had close to 3500 grandchildren. The one in the front that was dressed up had previously worked for a circus along with the Lions and Tigers, but said the pay wasn't that great and wanted to try acting in movies. Then of course Bugs had to chime in and advise against that profession because of the pitfalls of fame and not being able to go into a supermarket to pick up a carrots without having to sign a bunch of autographs.

  2. Love it:-) This is so funny - I now have had my laughter fix for the day. If you weren't that talented I would think you were just mad - but it probably goes together actually! Thanks for sharing your beautiful paintings and mad stories. Looking forward to the next one!
