2023: Year of the Water Rabbit
This piece is themed around my father, who was born in a Rabbit year. The artwork shows an elder gray rabbit representing him and a young gold rabbit representing my blond 1 year old daughter (who was actually born in the Year of the Ox 2021, so not a Rabbit).
I captured their handprints to cement in time how small my daughter is right now, and I love seeing their handprints side by side. Naturally, the toddler handprint has some motion, which I didn't try to control or fix, because it's perfect the way it is.
2023 is a water year so I used blue for the background color with wavy brush strokes.
