NEW WORK - Nature Illustrations

I'm adding to my repertoire of nature illustrations.

This and That, Donna Miskend 2014

These are things I've picked up that I thought I wanted to paint. Sometimes it's the color, or the design element, so to make sense of them individually I decided to put them all together. Acorn, ginko leaf, pine cone, the fruit from a cherry tree, maple seed pods, a dried cherry and I think the other seed pods are either also maple or oak.



This bunny was at the botanical gardens.

Ha! Bunny Splash, Donna Miskend2013

This is a reinterpretation of the Mother Goose Rhyme "Rain". In my version the bunny prefers a sunny day but makes the best of a gray day and jumps in the puddle to play. I will make prints available soon.
