"Weatherby Wabbit"

I'm working on some more members of the "Wabbit" family this week. I finished up "Weatherby", and think he turned out sort of charming. It has been fun to play with the pastel colors and German glass glitter on these figures. I haven't worked in pastels for a year so it is always nice to have a change. I also noticed that my pastel tones of this year are somewhat brighter than last year's colors. Isn't it funny how are taste can gradually change over time?


I'm painting on a new figure today and it is dealing me fits. I plan my color schemes ahead of time so it doesn't happen to me too often, but the face seems too washed out, the color isn't working for me, so I needed to get away from it for a few minutes... hence the posting. A tiny speed bump in the grand scheme of things.

Here is wishing you a great week!! Back to the studio table for me!

  2. Thank you Lori...lots of hours in this little guy and I noticed you can't even see the hearts inside of the turquoise triangles in this view. He is a happy boy!

    Your wabbit is adorable and a true inspiration for me to get mine done!

  11. Laurie,
    Love this little guy. He is so adorable as is all your work. I love the aqua color. My favorite combo is aqua and red. Striking and stunning but not really for Easter.

    I am sure the project in question will turn out perfect. They always do. A break was the cure I am sure.
    Have a wonderful week dear.
    Hugs,Pea
