Snowshoe Rabbit

Well, we’re not switching gears too much to look at a few of my own art pieces! I did this paint-by-number when I was eight years old. The many shades of blue and brown on the white coat have always intrigued me, and I think the subtle touches of red contrast very nicely. I did several paint-by-numbers at that time—astronauts on the moon, a puppy and soccer ball, and a beautiful one with dolphins jumping at sunset. I also composed this poem to go with my Snowshoe Rabbit painting when I was eight:

All creatures great and powerful,

All creatures great and small,
There's none like the snowshoe rabbit

That changes in the fall.

 In the spring it emerges

A shade of rustic brown;

 In the winter it shows up pure white,

Like a wedding gown.
