Before I explain, I am going to apologize for the AWFUL coloring job. Sorry, folks. I was sick, and impatient. I hate outlining in black but whatever, this way it kind of looks liek a kid's book illustration.

Anyways...I always loved those old english paintings of fox hunts. So, I figured I'd make a sort of faerie hunting scene with them riding their steed of choice, the sure-footed and clever rabbit. I wanted to include some other elements, such as white mice as their hounds, and their quarry, rats and dragon flies; but i didnt have the space and i though of it too late in the process.  One of the poor bunnies lost thier footing on the slick dew-covered ground as he landed, sending his rider into the muck. That does not stop the rest of the hunters, they are well on their way to closing in on their prey across the grassy downs.

This is a very creative piece. I love how you've depicted the English sport into a fairy version. Very cute from the bunnies to the fairies.

This is a really original idea. Have just read' Watership Down' again, so am sympathising with poor overworked bunnies.

I love the winsomeness to this picture, especially with the simple farm in the backgrounds. So cute and appealing!

...and that black bunny is coming home with me!
