oil on linen on panel
I knew it as soon as I saw her, our one little rabbit who hangs out in the front yard. I knew I would want to capture the light coming through those ears. For this painting I started with an orange underpainting and I then tried using a limited palette... I was inspired by the posting of this artist, NJ Darling. She is also doing the challenge and I loved her cow painting.
I have to admit that I wasn't entirely successful in keeping to that palette...a little yellow seem to have found it's way in. But the next time I do it, I'm going to stick to the red, white, yellow ochre and black, because I was really amazed how many color combinations those few colors can create. I think I might need to get red oxide to really make it work...
Does anyone know more about that color?
This is lovely Anette! You've really captured the light coming through the ears! Love all your paintings!
