Girl and Bunny

Trying to get back in the swing of things with regard to painting -- working through my available art supplies and using old photos I've kept on hand (for years, in this case) for inspiration. This is a 9" x 12" oil on linen.

Painting this was a happy struggle. The happy because I'm so grateful to be back in the art studio. The struggle because my body and soul ostensibly took the same beating from breast cancer, and I honestly wasn't sure if either my body or soul could handle the work required to paint. (Both can!)

It is always a boost of confidence when a loved one likes the portrait of their loved one. I'm pleased to say that is the case here.
