More Daily Painting: Cottontail

15x11 watercolor, loosely painted wet in wet of the common jackrabbit, also known as a cottontail. These small animals abound in southwest brushy pastures and love to feed upon young cotton plants trying to grow. When I was growing up in west Texas our favorite pasttime was to go rabbit hunting before the coyotes got them.

The White Rabbit or The One I Let Get Away

Here is my little ceramic bean bag bunny in his clown suit sitting in my sunny window still life, a full sheet 22x30 inches watercolor. I painted this a number of years ago and it was my first painting to be published in Christopher Willard's book Color Mixing a 12 Hue Method. It won several Best of Show awards but I sold it and now it is known as the one that got away. But I took lots of photos when I set the still life up at our first house so should get them out and get to work. Since it is almost bunny time (Spring, remember?) thought you might like to see this.
