Bunny Bonanza



What an exciting week!

I was doing some gardening and pulled up a big bunch of hay and all these tiny bunnies scattered around me. They had their eyes closed and were crawling around commando style. I didn't know what to do so I popped them back in their burrow and put the hay on top. I hope they are going to be okay. They are on the edge of our lawn. I see the mom around but apparently they only feed them once a day so I don't think she has abandoned them. Has anyone else had bunnies in their back yard? I think it is a myth that the mom rejects them if you have touched them. I hope it is anyway!



I finished my flying parrot this week. I used a technique where I blew the paint all over the paper and I think it came out pretty well.

I also applied to sell on Artfinder and was excited to be accepted so I've listed a few paintings. Nic McLean is also on it so check out her page too! Is anyone else on Artfinder? I would love to know so I can go like and follow your page.

  3. Those bunnies are so precious. I didn't know Mom bunny only fed her babies once a day. Your parrot came out fantastic.

  4. Your unusual technique was a huge success. The parrot is gorgeous. I think the bunnies are probably just fine.

  7. Hope the bunnies are ok. So cute! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment :) Do try the pans with watercolors instead of tubes. They last forever! I´ve had some of mine for years!

  8. your parrot is so striking-just gorgeous Emma! My friend has a litter? of baby bunnies in a burrow and she peeks at them once in awhile to check on them. The mother always returns. And this is the third year in a row there have been baby bunnies in her yard-despite having a cocker spaniel:)

  12. what a beautiful parrot painting. i so love the colours and the white space around it (on the right side of the page). And those little bunnies! omg, adorable. i hope they're ok. I would have done the exact same thing (put the hay back on them to keep them in hiding) Happy PPF. xx

  14. What a fabulous technique that is just perfect to create movement.
    Great colours too.
    Congratulations on having baby bunnies. I've heard that the mother stays away most of the day and just feeds once. What a lovely find (as long as they don't nibble your plants)
    Congratulations with Artfinder and I wish you lots of luck.
    Happy PPF to you too
