"The wind is blowing, blowing over the grass.
It shakes the willow catkins; the leaves shine silver.
Where are you going, wind? Far, far away
Over the hills, over the edge of the world.
Take me with you, wind, high over the sky.
I will go with you, I will be rabbit-of-the-wind,
Into the sky, the feathery sky and the rabbit.

The stream is running, running over the gravel,
Through the brooklime, the kingcups, the blue and gold of spring.
Where are you going, stream? Far, far away
Beyond the heather, sliding away all night.
Take me with you, stream, away in the starlight.
I will go with you, I will be rabbit-of-the-stream,
Down through the water, the green water and the rabbit.

In autumn the leaves come blowing, yellow and brown.
They rustle in the ditches, they tug and hang on the hedge.
Where are you going, leaves? Far, far away
Into the earth we go, with the rain and the berries.
Take me, leaves, O take me on your dark journey.
I will go with you, I will be rabbit-of-the-leaves,
In the deep places of the earth, the earth and the rabbit.

Frith lies in the evening sky. The clouds are red about him.
I am here, Lord Frith, I am running through the long grass.
O take me with you, dropping behind the woods,
Far away, to the heart of light, the silence.
For I am ready to give you my breath, my life,
The shining circle of the sun, the sun and the rabbit."

(Richard Adams, Watership Down)



My scanner freaked out from all the white, and scanned it with this weird glowy effect. it looked so cool, I didn't fix it. :)

Marker, color pencil and white gesso on toned board.



Hormones are making me artsy fartsy.

Have you read 'The Rabbit Box' by Joesph Pintauro?
'If you were hunted
but walked into the meadows
to feel the blue of the sky
at the price of your life
then you know my name
I am the rabbit."

Deeply lovely. And creepy. I love how WD isn't afraid to be dark... both Cowslip's warren and the Inle story were unflinchingly scary, and they give the book a lot of power. This piece captures the atmosphere perfectly.
