Pickle the White Rabbit | Happy Easter | Pet Portrait | Illustration



 It's Easter Sunday today, with good weather as well.

This Easter, I have been painting my joint 3rd foster rabbit, Pickle.

Back in May 2012, he was brought in to me from an animal hoarding house, he came with another rabbit. His breed, I assumed, is New Zealand, he was very nervous and he hide a lot when he was in the house, the shoe rack and top of the storage box underneath the stairs were his favourite spots.




But when he was outside, in his own hutch with a large enclosed run, he was more relaxed.



He also was curious and didn't scurry away whenever I approached him close, just to say hello. As shown from these two photos above.

I gave him some time to get used to me and my family, to show him that people aren't that bad, he then found out that he really likes head patting! As well as he stays on the floor to relax in the house, instead of hiding away from us.



In August 2012, he was adopted. From a shy, skittish rabbit to a very relaxed rabbit!

Back to painting, with this as my third pet portrait of a rabbit, and to be honest, I was very impressed with this as I thought painting a white animal going to be tricky, which then I have to work out by using some shadings.















I'm very proud of my painting of a white rabbit! Plus, he looks very cute, with his chubby-ness.

Hope you had a nice day today and got all the chocolate Easter eggs to munch! 🐰🍫

The Monarch | Illustration

The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on ...

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t...
