Having some fun...Camouflage Rabbit

 This is a mixed media, acrylic and oil on canvas   20" x 20"  fun.

I photographed this rabbit on my front yard and have been wanting to paint her for some time.

Also I have Amber shellacked some birchwood for another day. I intend to use this substrate to make a few more paintings of this rabbit.
