I borrowed this bunny from my friend James. When I first started painting every day I did a few stuffed animals and then completely forgot about it. Now I remember why I enjoyed it! I will be on the lookout for some good animals at the thrift store next time I go.

Der Hase (The Rabbit)

I figured I'd start with a still life for my first painting here in Germany. I found this bunny in St. Blasien in front of a store. It was so perfect next to the plant I took a picture and painted from that. I love all the grays and that cute face!

My friend, Jen, is holding another BUILD-A-BLOG class this weekend, and has also added some FREE newbie videos on her website. If you need some basic pointers about browsers, URL's and some important keyboard shortcuts, be sure to check it out!

Curious About a Cherry

Today we went to the Hohenzollern castle (click the name to see photos of this magnificent place!). And the castle was pretty cool but I have to admit getting there was pretty freakin' awesome! I have one word for you - AUTOBAHN!!! When you're on it you can drive however fast you want. I got up to 150! Ok, it was kilometers per hour, but that's still pretty fast. And yet, there were cars whizzing past. These Germans, they know how to get around. : ) Below is me with my cute boys standing beside an arch in the castle.

Tom und Erdbeeren

My son's Oma here in Germany got him 2 rabbits: Tom (black) and Jerry (gray). She thought they were both boys but, WOOPS, one is a girl. So, not wanting more rabbits, she had one fixed. I showed her this painting and she said "Tom und erdbeeren!" (Tom and strawberries). Hence the title.
