Description This was a piece done kind of in doodle-mode that turned into a piece of artwork. I had forgotten how much working in watercolor this way relaxed me. This is for my son, who will get the original

Done on Strathmore Coldpress 300 in watercolor pencils and colored pencils.

Great lightning! I find the sky with the moon and stars amazing And the animals and the tree are drawn with much skill. Such a nice composition... It would fit just perfectly into a child's story-book.

My son and I have an occasionaly 'Art Day' Where we paint and draw....so that was how this was done. He and I were 'experimenting' and this came about...
I used to do watercolors a lot! This piece has had such a response, I am encouraged to do some more

I'm always so happy when I see great art and it's done in traditional medium This is really great, you can really see the movement of the owl, and the little snail is sooo cute! I added it to my favs!

I know what you mean, doing watercolour really makes you relaxed, more then digital art I think. It's like...creative therapy! XD

Wow, this is so wonderful! I love the twisted tree and all the creatures (bunny, yay!) You're a very skilled painter!

LeeAnneKortus In reply to BloodyVoodoo [2007-08-06 02:11:49 +0000 UTC]

aww....thanks so much!! There HAD to be a bunny!
I see the little wild bunnies around here all the time. There are a couple that come up in our yard (when the dogs are put up, of course!), I always enjoy seeing them so much!
I have an idea for another deviation with bunnies in it. I can't decide if I'm gonna do it digitally or in watercolor yet.....

BloodyVoodoo In reply to LeeAnneKortus [2007-08-06 08:30:39 +0000 UTC]

Aw I'd love to see bunnies running wild around here, but there are far too many stray dogs in my area. I look forward to the next one (bunny piece) for sure!

Nathan and I draw and paint a lot together It is something we both enjoy. He did some pictures and gave them to me, and when he saw this one he asked if he could have it....so of course it is his
We both love bunnies...so there had to be one! The baby deer was actually his idea!
I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Of course you know I love the owl. But I have to say that rabbit, sweet and cuddly yet, he looks like he's got bunny secrets.
