"SPRING SONG"
RAFFLE
The essence of springtime, this charming artwork depicts a female western cottontail rabbit that was born and raised in my garden and yard. She was so accustomed to my presence when I was weeding and clipping, that I had to remember to look behind me before moving backward. A couple of times when I forgot, I nearly stepped on "Beatrice" as she snoozed on the grass. Then she'd squeak, leaping high, and then I'd squeak and jump, too.
Beatrice was also in the habit of sitting beneath a low-hanging branch of the apple tree when it was blooming in early spring, the grass emerald green, festooned with deep purple violets interspersed with sunny yellow dandelions. The doe frequently raised herself up on her haunches and sniffed the apple blossoms before glancing at me with a soft expression on her face.
I photographed and sketched Beatrice and her family members incessantly during the years that they graced my yard, laughing at their antics in all seasons. Now I am offering this original watercolor and gouache painting as the prize in this raffle; a quintessential symbol of a new growing season, and a celebration of Easter.
A wonderful addition to anyone's collection, this work of art would also be a perfect gift for young art lovers.
