"Flopsy," the newest Cherished painting, 9" x 12", acrylic on museum quality panel, depicting an extremely charming and very cherished bunny.
"Flopsy" is also headed to ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan in September, and will be available for purchase then. Please email me if you are interested in purchasing him, and I will be happy to make the necessary arrangements.
In process pics of Flopsy are on the studio Facebook page.
