Around this time a year ago, my partner and I spotted a fawn in a state park! It was walking by the road with it’s mom. Even though it only lasted a moment, it was absolutely breathtaking to see.
Since I’ve moved to Arizona I’ve really been hoping to see quail. So far I’ve really only seen pigeons, but to be fair I’ve also been hiding inside away from the heat. Since I haven’t seen any I decided to paint one instead.
I actually almost didn’t post this one because I thought it looked a little derpy, but then my husband pointed out that all quokkas look a little derpy which is why they’re so cute. I included a photo for reference!
I haven’t posted anything original in months, but I’ve still been creating. Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your creative soul is to disconnect. Sometimes though, it’s best to reach out and share. Only you can really know what’s best for you, and at least in my case, it’s constantly changing.
That all said, I hope you accept my art offering of this tiny bunny as I attempt to reach out and share.
