Room With Rabbits and Hares

Room With Rabbits and Hares
mixed media on panel 6 x 8 inch

In the last post I showed a picture of a small painting in progress that I was working outside on a beautiful day, and this is the finished piece. A long time ago I took photos of rabbits at the Kansas State Fair with the intention of painting them, but never did.  That is until now.  There are rabbits in every decor store you walk into right now and that is what prompted this painting..the fun bunny decor and the memory of all the rabbits at the fair.  Hundreds of them!

 We have had many beautiful days lately, which is wonderful.  The downside is that I don't get a lot of painting done when the weather is nice.  I find it difficult to be still.  Does anyone else have that problem?  

I am also experiencing some form of artist's block.  To combat this, I have been revisiting old paintings as well as some old photographs.  For some reason this helps me resist feeling blah about my block.  I know it happens to every artist, so I am just trying to roll with it. What do you do when you need to get your creativity flowing again?

It has been great to see so many of you on Facebook and Instagram.  If you are new on those sites, please come find me... search for lisagrahamart.  I would love to see you there.

Until next time...
