Getting Ready for the Cheyenne Artists Guild Easter Art Show



"Rabbits in My Garden"  9x12 Pastel Painting

It's hard to believe spring is almost here and only a few weeks until Easter.  The wonderful weather this last week in Cheyenne made me quit thinking about painting snow scenes. Even though I don't like hot weather, I'm looking forward to the prairie once again turning green, flowers beginning to bloom and little wild critters running around the neighborhood.  A few rabbits make our neighborhood their home and one in particular frequently visits my back yard, sharing our little garden. Sometimes, I image what it would be like to see a little family of rabbits. I guess this was floating around in the back of  my mind as I was creating my painting. You are probably thinking... your wishing yourself some problems, rabbits in a garden!  I know they may like to chop on my lettuce and vegetables, but I always feel happy when I see this one little rabbit that visits my back yard. I don't mind sharing some of my greens....besides that is that much less I have to pick, wash, cook and freeze. (Giving me more time to paint!!!)

If your out and about in April, check out the Easter Show and see my painting of the rabbit family at the Cheyenne Artists Guild. I also will be showing my geese painting "You Lookin' at Me". I look forward to seeing you at the Easter Show reception on Easter Sunday, April 8th, from 2-4 pm at the Cheyenne Artists Guild.
