Babette the Bunny
“Babette” pink-orange-gold-abstract-bunny-watercolor-9×12-140lb-fabriano-artistico
The weather was so warm here for a couple days this week, it felt like Spring!
I don’t remember ever having 60 degree weather in February. Even the birds were singing and celebrating.
The Spring-like weather must have been the inspiration for “Babette” the Bunny who somehow came to life one evening after dinner. No drawing – just started painting the eye and then splashing water and pink and orange and dabs of quin gold in the shape of a bunny.
And as for her name, it must have come from the hours of binge-watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix I’ve been doing since Christmas.
It was fun to create a Springy painting on a Springy February day. Fingers crossed I’m not inspired to paint snowy landscapes in May the way our wacky weather has been this year!
Cheers & Hugs,

Starry Night Pastel
I stayed up way too late one night last week
(in fact it became morning)
deciding to play with a box of pastels (Sennelier halves) I bought on a whim
a while back.
It was fun drawing with the soft chalk
and then rubbing and blending
from black to dark blue to lighter blue to white
to create the night sky.
I then took a fine rigger brush
and some watercolor “mud” leftover on my palette
to draw the stark silhouette of a tree in the cold, starry night,
created with Dr. Phil’s Bleed Proof White (which I managed to smudge).
It’s no Van Gough,
but it is a starry night. 🙂
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
