Illustration Friday: "Silent"

This week's topic made me remember the sweet, silent baby bunnies we had in our yard at the end of this summer.  They were so still that I had to put leaves and sticks next to them so I could hope to find them again in the grass!  I drew this little interpretation with pen and ink and colored it with watercolor.  My watercolor skills are a little rusty but I'll keep working on them!  The posts with bunny photos are here and here.

Added 11/17/2011:  two new versions of the bunny!  Check them out here.

  1. Such a cute little bunny, very nicely done. I wouldn't know your watercolor skills are rusty! Neat job with the lattice pattern of grass behind him, too.

  5. Are you kidding me! If your watercolour skills are 'rusty' then I would hate to see what you can do with a little more practice! This is fantastic Laurie, realy great. I love your line work but a little colour really does make it sing. Beautiful, well done.
