As many artists will agree, it’s always good to have a few skulls kicking around the studio because they are so enjoyable to draw and paint. I have picked up some lovely examples over the years. This terrific rabbit skull was found in sand dunes on the isle of Stronsay in the Scottish archipelago of Orkney.
In the early 1970’s I’d dash home and prepare two squares of paper in preparation for Robert Harbin’s ‘Origami’ TV programme. One square to follow along with Robert as he folded a demonstration piece, the other was to use in the more pedestrian-paced instruction.
This simple rabbit (using a water bomb base) has been a favourite of mine ever since.
Framed in Lion's Vermeer matt black 65mm moulding with gold sight edge.
Framed size - 300mm x 300mm x 40mm.
This painting sold at the 2024 ING Discerning Eye exhibition at London's Mall Galleries.
