Bunny In Her Basket

Oh Alizarine, my poor blog, I owe you about a day's worth of writing. Lately most of my creative energy has been funneled into my YouTube channel and just plain painting. I haven't forgotten about you. I will try to catch up this weekend!

Today's big news, as you can see, is that I've done another painting of Bunny. We recently celebrated our 12th Bunniversary (the day she decided she didn't want to be a stray kitten anymore and thought she'd team up with me) on Columbus Day.

Bun's having a pretty good autumn. I continue to take her on supervised walkabouts around the house, and her latest obsession is mole hunting. A few days ago I drew this on our kitchen chalkboard:

(She caught three and scared the hell out of one.)

This new painting was a quickie: I painted the background and basket on Tuesday and Bun on Wednesday. Fur takes a lot less time to paint than skin or petals or shiny stuff or just about anything else, apparently. You can watch me speed paint Bun on my new video, available here.

Are you subscribing to my channel yet? Please do. YouTube gives me, like, a shiny new penny for every subscriber I get. (I'm not sure how much money I make that way, actually. I do know that it's chump change, but chump change adds up.)

Want me to paint a pet of yours in a similarly cute way? Facebook me. Tweet at me. Let me know!
