In February 2015, I stumbled upon the hobby of painting that
has turned into a passion. Painting
almost every day since, some days for hours well past my bed time, I’ve
improved with each piece of art. There’s
one thing that has remained consistent in my paintings since then that a few of you
already know about: The Hidden Jackalope.
The only painting where he’s in plain view is ‘Red Forest’.
It was
a joke with my city raised husband when we would visit my country raised family. They lived far enough into the
woods where they couldn’t get good cable or cell phone reception. At night when a forest creature would run
past us he would ask, “What was that?” to which I would reply, “Jackalope!”
When my husband asked me what
something was in one of my paintings that was my immediate reply. Every painting since includes a hidden Jackalope. If you look close enough, in the right light, or at an odd angle, and sometimes even where you look back to repeatedly, you may
just see him. If not, then ask someone
who owns one of my paintings and they may be willing to help you find him.
Happy hunting!
