Michele Mikesell’s enchanting oil-on-canvas piece (36" x 36") invites viewers into a realm where realism and abstract artistry collide. The titular rabbit, adorned in a striking black garment with white polka dots, gazes outward, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation.
The light-colored background, adorned with vibrant circular elements and faint pencil sketches, adds a layer of whimsical complexity. Mikesell masterfully bridges human ideas and animal instinct, seamlessly exploring themes of irony, humor, and the delicate balance of playfulness and melancholy.
