Watership down

Oil and acrylic on canvas board

size 50 x 50 cm

Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it. For them there is no winter food problem. They have fires and warm clothes. The winter cannot hurt them and therefore increases their sense of cleverness and security. For birds and animals, as for poor men, winter is another matter. Rabbits, like most wild animals, suffer hardsh.

I have been planning this painting in my head for a very long time and it was motivated by my very favourite book. I so wish this bunny would reach his dream home too.
