Like Alice's rabbit, this little chap (yes I know he's pink but I do feel he's a 'he') is late. Too late for Illustration Friday (theme - 'Rejection') He is also the first painting I have done in, oh about three months and the first in my new studio. So I am quite fond of him and his poor broken heart. However, I don't need him for any useful purpose (he was a warm up exercise, as I have a Real Live publishing commision to start today). So he is up for sale for 25 UK pounds/50 US dollars/75 Euros, with free postage and packing - unframed and unmounted. The picture area (as it should be mounted) is roughly 23cm across by 14cm. And in a fit of generosity, I'll throw in a free 6 pack of Red Flannel Elephant cards. If you'd like to give him a loving home (although I can't guarantee he'll stop crying) email me at gretelparker@yahoo.co.uk. EDIT - NOW SOLD - THANK YOU!
Oh my goodness he is gorgeous, I hope he finds a loving home soon.
ReplyDeleteHi PG, thanks for my birthday wishes. A lot of Canecerians seem to be artistic - is there a correlation between the two??
ReplyDeleteThis picture is so beautiful and yet so sad. The colours are just fantastic. Brilliant as always.
I want to give him a hug...
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling a lot like him lately.
Awww.........
ReplyDeletePoor thing.
On a jollier note: I like your new header!
Toby.
Poor little rabbit. He needs a great big hug.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the horrible person who wrote him a letter which made him so sad.
I don't like to think what was in the letter...I think this is the saddest picture I have ever done, and that is saying something! Poor little moppet.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! Poor little thing! I'd like to join the queue to give him (her?) a big cuggle.......
ReplyDeleteAnd I lurve the new header! Very Mabel Lucie Attwell! :-)
He certainly does bring emotion out.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear of the new publishing commision.
This is a wonderful piece Gretel! One day, I hope I can own one of your originals like this.Congrats on your publishing commission.
ReplyDeleteI want to rip up the letter and give him a big bunch of carrots instead!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is "ACK and SIGH" and you know why...:)
ReplyDeleteB*gger!! Too late!! It's beautiful, G - love it :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love him! I wish I hadn`t spent all my extra money on fabric because I`d be ordering him! He won`t be long finding a home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on the Cornish pasties. I had them when I was over there and really liked them. Such and interesting history!
tea

He's wonderful, Gretel - I'm glad he's found a loving home!
ReplyDeleteYour new blog header's great, too!
He looks so genuinely sad, poor wee dear. I hope he has gone to a wonderful home - maybe his tears will turn to laughter if listened close enough.
ReplyDeleteGeez your work is phenomanal! So happy you have a commission!!!
XOXO
love and hugs,
Lisa
Don't say he's a bunny with a broken heart, that's way too emotional. Lets pretend he's playing hide and seek instead ! That's way happier - love Julia x
ReplyDeleteOh I missed him!
ReplyDeleteHe reminded me so much of the velveteen rabbit.
Off to find something!
