  2. Bonjour ma chère Susan,

    Oh ! comme il a raison de vouloir courir ce beau lièvre aux merveilleuses couleurs ! Accompagné de ces beaux légumes il risquerait fort bien de finir à la casserole !! Sourire...

    J'aime beaucoup cette composition.
    Je te souhaite une très belle journée,

    Gros bisous 🌸

    1. Merci beaucoup - it was fun to paint all those root veggies tumbling around this bunny. I believe this would be a wonderful dream for him!

    1. Spring flowers right now would be such a joy! Interestingly, this past year I planted two small green plants that were advertised to do well in the shade - surprisingly they have been blooming all winter with beautiful white flowers - even in the coldest and snowiest weather. My friend in Scotland told me they are called Christmas Roses - I just love them!

    1. Hi, Julie - I had the idea of what a rabbit would be dreaming of - an explosion of veggies of course! It was fun to lay it out and it all kind of came together. So glad you like it!

  7. A very clever title! I love the spontaneity of this piece and the feeling of motion. A rabbits dream to be amongst all those vegetables! What fun! One could write a story based on this painting!
