Just found these tucked away in an old art folder. They date back a few years (about 28 to be precise!). I think I was about 13 or 14 when I created these characters. They lived in a smart town house in Mayfair during the season but preferred their country estate - much more suited to rabbits. I'm not sure why his Lordship is dressed in hunting gear though... I would have thought he was a vegetarian!
I guess they were a sort of Downtown Abbey for bunnies. That's the Dowager Countess in the bottom picture - the one with the top hat with a feather who looks like she's about to go out riding (though I do wonder how she's going to get on the back of a horse!). What a 'game' old gal she was... always had a twinkle in her eye when telling a story.
Maybe it's about time I told it for her... what do you think?
Sharing a spot of nostalgia with my friends at Paint Party Friday.
I'm so happy I found them again. What a lovely blast from the past. I can still remember creating them!

Your bunnies are beautiful. It looks like you created bunny world. Have a very, very Happy PPf!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! My fave to draw was an elephant. Lol! Don't know why. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I just love your bunnies and seeing them in their bunny world. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteAdorable - and well done - little upper class bunnies! :) I guess with stories of animals one runs into all sorts of problems, like when a mouse has a dog as a pet, but also as a best friend... :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable bunnies! It's fun to find old drawings and remember past artistic endeavors. My old drawings are all fashion-model images (!) I guess I fancied myself a fashion designer.
ReplyDeleteI think you should create stories for these sweet bunnies. We all want to know what they're up to now!
Such fun bunnies! Very well drawn and colored-esp. for a young lady of 13! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a future book to me- I loved all the Peter Rabbit stories as a child, but I like your stories better.....could you be the next Beatrix Potter?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Stephanie
That nice pictures! worthy of a beautiful story. Saludos
ReplyDeleteIt's a waste of such sweet characters to leave them in Bunny Downton. I truly believe there is a great children's book there. New Year resolution time soon. You are so talented in so many directions, and this is one path you really follow.
ReplyDeleteMissed out a word. Really should follow
ReplyDeleteBeautiful your bunnies Lisa. I am back in my childhood, fantastic.
ReplyDeletelovely greet and nice weekend

ReplyDeleteThose are the cutest bunnies I've seen! Love your painting style! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa...you must have Beatrix P. in your bloodline perhaps? These are SOOOO sweet. Glad you found them too.
ReplyDeleteI used to love to draw Snoopy.
What a treat to have found these AND that you had kept them. You certainly showed great imagination when creating these, they are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteHow precious - and doubly precious that you saved them. You showed early talent. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable - I loved the whole story that went with the paintings too. x
ReplyDeleteWhat charming characters and what a great imagineation you had. These would make great illustrations for a childrens book (hint, hint!)
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet and I'm so glad you shared them! Happy belated Paint Party Friday!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. Great illustrations and a story too.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to dig out memories like this. My sister recently had a dig out at my parents and found a couple of my old exercise books full of drawings of cars & aircraft.
What a fantastic trip down memory lane! Your bunnies are so finely outfitted :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
They are so cute! How wonderful that you kept them and now that you found them again.
