This paining “Secret Society” took what seemed like a few forevers. I had to revise a lot. Painting something that is set at night is challenging in 100 different ways at once. That’s kind of overdoing it, but not much. I was pleased with how it turned out in the end. I really cared that the fire looked like convincing fire despite being made out of night and moonlight. And I really cared that the bunny looked big enough to be able to defend itself against the cat or the owl. I didn’t want anyone to be distracted by worrying about the rabbit’s safety. And so all great artist made. Ha ha Ha. Happily, this painting will soon have a wonderful new home.
