Overrun

My brain is clearly overrun with jackrabbits at the moment.  Here's another from my art journal.  Sitting Jack is acrylic, gesso and charcoal on paper, 12 x 9 inches.  He looks rather suspicious, doesn't he?  Did he just eat one of my plants? 
They are forecasting rain for tomorrow.   I don't want to get my hopes up, but I would LOVE seeing rain!  Tomorrow, my students are coming for a class on watercolor.  I am considering the possibility of adding one more class in the fall.  One thing about teaching other people to draw, it makes me draw more.  (I feel like I need to practice what I preach - "draw every day!")

Happy Monday, my darling readers.  I'm crazy about you, you know.

I love your art - your jackrabbit is fantastic. i so wish i could go to one of your classes. I am an art 'wannabe' and desperately need help and encouragement with drawing ;-)

I know it is hot where you live and if I leave a comment then you will be even warmer and fuzzzier but too bad...this rabbit is just tooooo good to go uncommented over.
Love the background toooo!

this to say- i admire your artwork and your posts! we have jack rabbits up here, too. i love the sound of a jack rabbit running across the fields. wait--not so much the sound but rather the way the ground feels as they explode past me.

i will be back to enjoy more. loved the chance encounter with the roadrunner earlier on.
