Artist's Comments

Before my grandfather died last year he would go to a crafts class every week and make little ceramic animals that he would paint. One of the last things he made that he gave to my mother was a blue rabbit.

Before my grandmother died over ten years ago she would paint cardinals. She said that it was her way of letting us know when we saw one, that she was watching over us.

I painted this portrait of the two of them, be it animal spirits, to give to my mother for Christmas. It was a very emotional and hard piece to work on. I don't work on animals very often but I think this one came out nicely. I hope you enjoy it.

How adorable!
I know your mom will love it and most likely will cry.

I couldn't wait to see this. The colors, the fir tree, the backround...it's beautiful, Juno. It really is. This is a wonderful gift and I'm sure your mother will love it. Now I whish that I had such a good gift for my mother.

The lighting and texture is very awesome! You can feel the emotion of the two, I'm sure she will adore it. Merry Christmas :D

Thank you so much. The texture was my biggest worry - having never really drawn fur before. XD

Happy holidays!

This is quite possibly the most touching thing I've seen in... well, a decent chunk of time at any rate.

Very nicely done.

It came out beautifully, and I love the colours in it. I'm sure your mom'll love it, it's a really thoughtful peice of artwork. You don't see much of that on dA.

I'm totally a closet Juno fanboy. You've got great stuff pretty much all around.

And I swear I'll catch up with sXd soon, I promise! :P
