I love the rabbit, munching on the tree leaf, decked out in a scarf and holly berries. Artful and unique, the colors are like and old fashioned storybook illustration. Thank you for posting your art.

today so started this one in the morning and worked on it for few hours. Stopped to make homemade soup
And then went back and worked on it some more.
Had news on and decided I couldn't take anymore so turned it off.
Painted for a few more hours with just music.

Between Epstein files and Kennedy Center it was
more than expected.

It kept me at my desk today which I really didn't mind.
Today's the first day I've felt better since I've had the nasty coughing flu bug.
