I have a bunch of go-tos - blue eyes (like  Bioluminescence's ) are my grandmother, and pink is always hope, just to name a few. Post vacation, I became enamored with the idea of adding halos on my animals, but that felt a bit too literal - nevertheless, I started thinking about how I might crown things in other ways.  Rabbit is the first. Do you see her, cloaked in ultramarine, holding a sunrise while harboring vulnerable lit...
