8″x10″ acrylic, 2011. This portrait features favorite childhood objects of both Penny-June and her mother, Kara-Leigh. Hop Hop, a well-worn Jellycat rabbit, belongs to the (adorably named!) Penny-June. Kara-Leigh suggested that Hop Hop be seated on a little wooden chair that was her own when she was small. I like the chiaroscuro lighting on Hop Hop, imbuing him with a bit of mystery… We’ll never know what goes on in that fuzzy head, which is down to its last whisker!
