I simply called them "lapin 1" and "lapin 2". As soon as I had published the photos on Facebook, I had a sale and was told by many people that these paintings were more atmospheric and meaningful than my paintings of the Peter/Snowball family.

| The symbolic meaning of "rabbit" is regeneration. Of life, of spirit and of the seasons . Thus it is a chosen symbol for Easter You can buy this gift, made from my artwork from www.whiterock.co.za or find it on Facebook |

I do so like these two stone rabbit pieces, Marie. I don't know that I would have come up with the word "atmospheric," but I think I get the sense of it in this piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sherry, I think Cathy Gatland sums the feeling up as "compelling". There is definitely some strange emotion here.
DeleteAh, a clumsy word at best! For the lack of a better one! Thank you, once again for popping in!
ReplyDeleteLapin 1 and 2 are quite strange and compelling Marie, not as cute as your other rabbits, but definitely interesting, I like them very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathy. I could sense an underlying emotion that was difficult to pinpoint here. I was even thinking about something that is in a sense threatening, maybe as any faceless person would be?
ReplyDeleteYes, perhaps a little threatening, but also a little lost and vulnerable, not being able to see...and especially in the top one, the marks around the figure suggest other senses in full use - listening, sniffing, ready to act.
ReplyDeleteI love your very insightful remarks, Cathy! These are things that I feel and try to express, but my vocabulary does not always suffice!
