This is part of a series of bunnies taking naps. 

For this one, I had in mind a child's room. The parents are trying to get their little one off to sleep and point to the bunny on the wall: "See how that bunny is sleeping and smiling because he is having a happy dream?" Hint, hint ...

These parents don't really like the usual decor of bright neon colors that a lot of children's rooms have. They want something more subtle, more in the tradition of the Renaissance, or older English illustrations for children's books. So they pick this piece for their child's room.

Or this piece because it's even more subtle:

an idea for framing:

framed prints available for sale through this link

choose frames with drop-down (including all of the various frame colors)

this one is around 11" x 14" with a MQ9 frame found under silver frames (in drop-down)

and a mat that is arctic white with black core mat (in drop-down)

I tend to think people are attracted to artwork sometimes through the symbolism (subconsciously), and this piece has a lot of positives in that department:

* white bunny: new perceptions and manifestations; signifies something at work for the highest good
* white butterflies: protection, fortune, messages from the spirit world
* vines: continuity, traditions in ones life
* red tulip-like flowers with thorns: true love, eternal love, undying love, yet with a few protective measures
* small yellow flowers: happiness in the small things, friendship
* purple daisies: dignity, pride, success
* bountiful fauna: material well being

Here's another piece along the same lines (with all of the same kinds of products):

If you have been following along, I have a show of original pieces up. In the meantime, I thought I would make some of the items in the show available as archival prints and other products. 

Here is how the original art piece looks (note: the frame is a little cockeyed in the photo, but not in real life -- it was how it looked on a wall for the photo shoot):

Millefleurs Triptych with Unicorn, Cranes, Rabbits and Dove

Name of art piece: "Millefleurs Triptych with Unicorn, Cranes, Rabbits and Dove"

size: 13" x 10" on 14" x 11" paper

printed on archival paper

artwork © 2014 by Lise Winne

AVAILABLE THROUGH MY ARTFIRE ON-LINE SHOP HERE

Note: the copyright watermark does not appear in any purchased versions of this print.

This piece is a Renaissance-inspired artwork and inspired by (and in the tradition of) the Renaissance Unicorn tapestries. Here is one instance of one of the pieces done during the Renaissance.

This print is also available in a framed version at Valley Artisans Market. The original is going to be hung in a new gallery I was admitted into. More information on that coming soon. If you have an Etsy account, it may be available there as well, though I am featuring rotating themes, and there is less likelihood of it being there than in my Artfire shop (which has the advantage of a guest check-out if you don't want to join as an Artfire patron).

Symbolism:

The crane is a symbol for longevity, a youthful appearance, a happy and successful marriage as well as an omen of protection.

The unicorn is a symbol for purity, the mystical and divine, the spiritual, healing sorrows of the heart, healing toxicities in the body and banishing poisons in ones life whether they be emotional, spiritual or physical.

Rabbits are a symbol of femininity, abundance and luck. They are also a symbol of fear (of tragedy and disaster).

The dove is a symbol of peace, hope and messages from the spirit. They sometimes refer to pacifism and passive resistance too.  

Here are some of the details of the piece:

Bunny and Moon ACEOs

"Bunny and Moon" original painting ACEO (2.5" x 3.5")

available in my Etsy shop in the ACEO section

or in my Artfire shop in the ACEO section

here is another aceo:

"Bunny and Moon II" original painting ACEO (2.5" x 3.5")

© 2012

available in my Etsy shop in the ACEO section

As stated, these are both original paintings and will probably be the only ACEOs made in this subject matter. They are incredibly fussy and require tiny "liner" brushes. We'll see...

ACEOs have to conform to the 2.5" x 3.5" size format. For more on ACEOs, see this wikipedia article HERE.  

These are part of a series of "bunny and moon" art pieces. The whole series can be found HERE.

They are painted with acrylic paints (gesso first, then the acrylic paints, then polyurethane). These particular ones were painted on bristol board.

Bunny Inside Egg, new Easter design

"Bunny Inside Egg"

new Easter card design

© 2012

Sometimes after I draw things, they take on a new meaning, become alive in my mind, sometimes entering my consciousness for days afterward. After I drew the "Bunny and Moon" tag design (viewable HERE on my blog), I've been waking up in the middle of the night for months dreaming about a bunny coming out behind the brush to look at the moon and wondering what it is!

Am I the only one who goes through this?

I don't know what to say about this beyond what I've said except I am reminded that there are other living beings sharing the same planet, looking at the same moon. It's not a wholly human world we live in and I am grateful for that. Bunnies are particularly innocent creatures, wonderfully soft and picked on by carnivores. In this phase of my art career, I have become entranced by them, so the newest bunny above is not just about Easter; it was an excuse to create another rabbit.

The card design is available year-round in my Artfire shop and seasonally through my Etsy shop.

Fuchsia Egg with Bunny

This is probably the last Easter design of the year and is available through my Artfire on-line shop in packages of 3 cards each (it can be ordered in different quantities; just read the directions on the listing description).

The original design is 10.5" x 15" and I have saved it in this size just in case someone wants a full print of it. 

I have a lot of easter designs in stock where rabbits have full features, so I decided that this one could be featureless, like a flash of lightening leaping across the suspended egg.
