A Book for Calder

 
.




My talented friend Louise came over to paint and showed me this charming series picturing her dogs Stokely and Pippi on a rabbit hunt. The book that it will become is to be a gift for her grandson Calder.

 I LOVE these lively images as the dogs encounter all the wild creatures but the rabbit, till finally, scared by a bear, they run home to dream of rabbits.

Oh what fun paintings! I'm glad to have read the story first, so I could see the steps that the paintings illustrated so well! Yep, laughing out loud over here!

Very charming. I'm surprised you haven't done that with your Rabbit, Rabbit series.
