"Baby Bunny Two", # 33 of 2008

This is an original, a little (3.5" x 2.5") Colored Pencil and India Ink painting by me, Melody Lea Lamb. This tiny baby Cottontail is so precious and fragile in the palm of her hand. Remember a portion of the proceeds from this painting benefits the charity, Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue, (Art for Critters Charity of the Month)! © All images and content copyright ~Melody Lea Lamb 2008~ all rights reserved.

This painting/drawing is an ACEO (Art Cards Editions and Originals) The Painting is done on Heavy 100% Cotton, Acid Free Illustration Board (1/8"thick) with mostly high quality India Ink and Prismacolor Pencils (I sometimes add a bit of white Acrylic.) It is initialed on the front, signed by the artist (me) on the back, and includes a mention of media used , the sequential ACEO number for this year, and the date it was created. I have painted the edges to give it a polished look and, as with all my paintings, it has been sprayed with a high quality fixative to protect it and prevent smudging. I mail your painting in a clear plastic sleeve, between two pieces of clean cardboard and sealed in a zip bag, (just in case it goes through a rain storm on its way to you) :) PLEASE NOTE: The water mark of my name DOES NOT appear on the original!
