I am not sure what to call this one...

a benny? because I think he has a combination of bear and bunny elements. He started out as a paint daub, too!

Call me "Benny".

If it looks like a duck...

and I think this little critter does :-)
From a paint daub he arrived!

Baby duck paint daub.

Monday Bunny

It has been a bunny morning chez Cranna. Remy found a baby bunny in the back yard.

Remy was very, very excited. He was sort of nosing and pushing at something and when I saw clearly what it was I told him to "leave it"; he stopped. He was hovering over it and I said, "leave it" again and he moved away. I called Remy to me and he came (Good dog!!!) and he was rewarded with a high value treat and then another one!

Have you ever seen a baby bunny? This grey furball was maybe five inches long with a sweet face topped off with perfect little ears. He was so scared he was hunkered down and wasn't going anywhere. After Remy was back in the house, I went out to scoot the little baby away. He really didn't want to move to I sort of lightly touched his head and back with a dish towel until he turned and did a sort of slow motion hop away.

So here's a mixed media piece to celebrate Mondays (sometimes characterized as blue Mondays) and baby bunnies. A blue bunny...why not?

Happy!

Isn't this a funny one?

Another paint daub critter:

Wacky or in a tizzy?

A few strokes...

of watercolor, ink and gesso and a little dog is born :-)

Some days

are just fab-u-lous!

"Huzzah!"

Paint daubs

Randomly laid down several layers of water color and gesso. Some line work and this happy little guy appeared.

The Little Talker

A fish from a splash

I love to splash and spritz and fling watercolors onto paper. Some pretty interesting critters are born from the process :-)  Here, a fish...of some kind:

A fish in water.

Now for something different...

With tiny little feet like these, wings are a necessity for this lady bird :-)
