Another Animal Portrait in the Style of Beatrix Potter: Ermentrude Bunnyfoot


Ermentrude Bunnyfoot was of a quiet constitution and enjoyed nothing more than spending the afternoon in the garden.

Tho, much to the chagrin of her dear old curmudgeonly Uncle Josiah Bunnywort who often cajoled her for picking his specimen plants to make dainty little arrangements.

"A lot of Stuff and nonsense," he'd huff, "this ramming cut blossoms into cups of water, it leaves rings on me important papers."

Ermentrude said nothing, but still put a nosegay or a posy daily in her dear old uncle’s study.

I'm having fun with these portraits. Having been busy the perfect escape, during a tea break, is into another realm and one where rabbits (and possibly in the future more animal friends) are anthropomorphized is all the better get away.

I'm not sure if it's the thought of Spring or the weather in general, but I've definitely been embracing the twee and cute in my drawings and I'm loving the journey.


I'm also thinking I should have started my bunny portraits earlier, because how sweet would this gal on a bag, such as this, be filled with goodies for Easter.


Ah well, there is next year and I'm sure some would happily carry a "bunny bag" year round.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my third Bunny portrait , I'm having such fun making them.

I hope you find a moment in your day to indulge in your own passions and remember to stay creative, thanks for stopping by and perusing my portraits.
