Good Morning:
Now this is what I call a simply beautiful day. All is quiet, and I have no plans other than what I need to attend to here at the house. The usual gardening is on the agenda, and I'm ready to sink my teeth into a new project in my studio. I managed to get my work table cleaned and in order earlier this week. Now, I have a fresh new outlook and a wide open space to dirty up again!!
Ava (my daughter) and I took our morning walk at 7:45. The park was filled with cotton-tailed "Jack Bunnies". The slopes at the park are home to hundreds of fresh, springtime bunnies. Suburban bunnies that will soon be full grown Jack Rabbits. Some of the babies are so small, that if I could catch one, it would fit into the palm of my hand!! They dash hurriedly and panicked across the walking paths. First to the right, then to the left, then maybe they run in a circle. Finally, at their destination, they duck into the low lying protection of some scrubby shrubs. Camouflaged safely from the hustle and bustle of the suburban joggers.
I love rabbits and small furry things that hide in secrecy. I imagine they have their own familiar world hidden away in the shrubbery. My love for all things "rabbit" led me to purchase this art print today on Etsy. It's titled "Springtime Sisters", and it's a digital collage created by artandghosts. Isn't it fascinating? I've had my eyes on it for a few days now, and I just couldn't resist it any longer!! If you would like to see more from this artist, check out her Etsy Shop. Needless to say, I will be checking my mailbox in anticipation of the arrival of my newest art purchase!!
Here are my 2 newest ACEO prints listed in My Etsy Shop. They are the 1st and 2nd ACEOs in my "Simple Bird" Series.

600. The Katzenjammer Botz
45. Flophouse Flopsy (okay, so it's not in color)
and 492. Honeydew Bunnison
