The Illustration Friday topic this week is STORM. Hmmmm... I wonder why they picked that? ;)
These critters are picking up on an impending something...
Best wishes to all my snowed-in east coast friends. Stay warm!
Hello Elizabeth: The pricked up ears and the birds in flight are sure signs that something is about to happen and it may not be good. Of course, as far as the white rabbits are concerned, they may disappear altogether....good job that the stripy scarf can act as a distress signal if needed!!!
If by the rabbits disappearing you mean down the proverbial hole--then I will be right there, chasing after ;) -Alice (er, I mean, Elizabeth) Thanks, dear J & L
Our little bunnies in the garden have battened down their hatches; we too got TONS OF wet snow. HELLO ELIZABETH! Your cards went out yesterday. Oh how I love your art! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Anita
Great expression! Would have hated to be a rabbit this weekend! We got over 2' of the white stuff....but made sure to leave some bread out for the birds. :) I'm contemplating boycotting this week's challenge. The last thing I want to continue to think about right now is another "storm!" :)
In the desert where I live the local indigenous say, "the caterpillars come and then the cockatoos and then you know the rain is on it's way. I always get excited when a storm is coming but I do love your illustration. You have a wonderful way of capturing personality in your animal friends the way Beatrix Potter did. And emotion too. I hope these little bunnies make it home to their burrow before the storm comes.
Oh! This looks like the middle of an adventure! Bunnies in the snow, with their striped comforters fluttering in the wind, rather ominous birds in the sky! What happens next? Do they get home safe, to cocoa and hot buttered toast? I hope so!
Hi Elizabeth Just wanted to pop along to say thank you so much for visiting and following my blog! Your illustrations are adorable! Really beautiful drawings :0)
Awwwwww! Wonderful, delicate touches of color. I love the sound of falling snow, and these guys have the perfect equipment for that.

ReplyDeleteI don't blame you at all, Mit. You guys sure got slammed. Enough already. Thanks for stopping by!

DeleteLovely!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Efi!
DeleteSoft and snowy! Ah yes and sweet of course. great to see one of those waving scarves again, too.
ReplyDeleteOh and those piggies with the red cowboy boots in your previous post: they are just the BEST! What a couple. Love the confetti too.
Thank you, Koosje. I am so glad you are enjoying my critters!
DeleteI reckon these rabbits are well equipped with their scarves..ears like periscopes and under ground houses...clever little bunnies.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mr. MacGregor.
DeleteNice shawl, Mr. Rabbit. Who's your tailor?
ReplyDelete:)
Greetings from snowy Artichokistan:)
Hope you have your shawl in place. Stay warm!
Delete"When the wind gets enough puff, us rabbits simply play it by ear."

DeleteLove the bunnies with their mufflers and inquiring expressions. You've inspired me to do a blog on bunny books; just in time for Easter.
