Jerome


This is a portrait of Jerome who belonged to a friend of mine. Jerome was a house rabbit who liked to lie sprawled on the floor like this. I enjoyed painting the falling petals which are echoed in the spots of rabbit fur. I still may add some pea vines for Jerome to eat and to make the setting more like a garden but I think the painting is already quite busy. I'm still considering.

  5. It doesn't look busy to me. Some delicate little green pea shoots would be divine. I love the close-up square crop too, it's like a different painting, so we just look deeply into that peaceful brown eye.
