Bunny Bunny

Bunny Bunny
6" x 6" watercolor
$65 plus $7 US shipping

So, it's spring. And Easter is on Sunday. And bunnies are unbearably cute and fluffy. And Watership Down is one of my favorite books. And, and, well. . . I just really wanted to paint a bunny. :)

Also, bunnies remind me of chocolate milk which is one of my favorite things. We drink a lot of this in my house:


Because we love chocolate. And yes, it has to be this specific kind of chocolate milk. The one with the bunny on it. When my youngest son started talking, at around eighteen months old, he would always ask for a sippy of chocolate milk. It's still his favorite drink even now at three and a half.

And the thing I loved most about his request? The way he asked for it.

He'd toddle over to me, grab onto my leg, lift his empty sippy cup up to me, and say, "Bunny bunny?" in the sweetest little voice you've ever heard.

Since then chocolate milk has always been called bunny-bunny in our house. And I hope it stays that way forever.  

Until Thursday my friends. :)) May your milk always be full of chocolate! Huzzah!!

  2. Hee - how cute! I used to raise rabbits in high school, and they love to cuddle and be petted :).

    I enjoy your stories about your boys as they were growing up. Well, they still are, but you know what I mean ;). Enjoy lots of chocolate for Easter!

  8. Oh this bunny painting is heart-meltingly CUTE! He is completely adorable! It's those watery eyes :0)
    I remember watching the film Watership Down when I was little. It left me in floods of tears. Even now I can't watch it!
    And I am sure the name Bunny-Bunny for your chocolate milk will stick. Even now at fifteen years old, Charlie still refers to Sudocreme (a healing cream) as 'Magic Cream', lol! :0)

  11. Great painting, Crystal ... the cutest bunny ever, so calm and cuddly.

    My granddaughter (21 year old) has had 'Chocolate Nesquik' just about everyday for most of her life. She used to drink the strawberry version which she called, 'Punk Munk'
