Little Bunny, Big Dreams

#66/365 Paintings

Sometimes a day flying a kite becomes a real party. For our little bunny here her friends…real, imagined, life lived or life just begun came to celebrate the windy sky with her.

Media notes: This was painted via watercolor with some mixed media elements added and then a digitally amended background added in the end. Wild fun!

I love this painting so much. It may be my favorite so far. It speaks to something really essential to me — so many of us carry big dreams, but as a rabbit conveys, we hold them close, somewhat timidly (and we do so based on experience, probably, that those big dreams are not safely loosed into the world, except hopefully among friends). But how wonderful they are. And too bad that most people are probably passing by and don’t look up and never see them.
