My ink, watercolor, color pencil illustration of family of rabbits visiting on an autumn day. Mama Bunny leads the way carrying a pumpkin tureen. Followed by sister bunny holding a bag of apples. The bag has a hole at the bottom and it's leaking apples. Which causes the bunny behind her to trip, throwing his plate of cupcakes in the air. The bunny bringing up the rear is carrying a pie and is distracted by the cupcakes. Hopefully he won't trip on an apple. This is a self- promotional postcard - my contact on the bottom reads: Diana Ting Delosh • illustrator/storyteller • diana delosh.com represented by Lynnette Novak of The Seymour Agency

Sometimes you can just paint all day…
and other days you just can’t even pick up a brush...

Today is the day where I have been painting none stop! ☺️

How’s your day going?
