Hoppy May 🐰🌼 #art #bunnies #may #maypole
A soft springtime illustration set in a sunny glade, a group of young bunny girls in frilly white dresses and flower crowns prancing around a tall wooden maypole carved in the shape of a rabbit. Each girl holds a ribbon and reaches for the paw of the next girl as they dance, braiding the ribbons around the neck of the maypole. Colorful flags are strung from the top of the pole and flowering trees, bushes and grass decorate the background.

Panel 1: two crows are walking in the snow as a heavy but gentle snow falls around them. Panel 2: one says to the other while looking ahead "Heh, that lump of snow looks like..." Panel 3: what they thought was a lump of snow opens its eyes, revealing itself to be a pure white snowy owl. Panel 4: "Gasp" gasps the second crow. "... a spirit!" exclaims the first.

Made an awesome thank you card and took my puppy out to walk in the snow. I guess life is pretty good ❤️
A card featuring a gouache and micah painted raven with a crown surrounded by leafy filigree and stars. A Thank you banner at their feet. The cutest Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Oliver in a winter coat

Happy Feast of the Ass Day!
The Feast of the Ass is a medieval Christian feast observed on 14 January celebrating the flight into Egypt. It was originally a by-product of the Feast of Fools celebrating the donkey-related stories in the Bible.
