This is a kangaroo not  a rabbit.  Australian animals have become a bit of a theme in my work.  When I was on holidays I ducked between trees and hid in bushes to sketch a mob of sleepy kangaroos.  Kangaroos really know how to relax, I couldn't believe the way they recline and sprawl.

I made this print in an etching class.  Fabulous unpredictable marks appear on the plate.  I worked on a zink plate and the thick lines are sugar lift and aquatinted.  The painterly brush stroke clouds are white ground and the scratchy lines were made using hard ground.
