A marker and paint pen drawing WiP on an art paper print (7”x10”) of King (not a gendered title here) Hare and their entourage of poppy-decorated hares. The Monarch is in the center, a white hare with gold adornments and a red poppy and green-leaved crown and chain of office, and poppies draped around their body. On either side are two red, green, black, and gold poppy-patterned hares, for a total of four in the Monarch’s entourage. Their eyes are rimmed with gold, and there are gold stamens on the poppies on the right of the Monarch. From L-R: (All the hares are seated on their hind legs, front legs straight, so they are sitting up, not lying down.) A hare facing left, seated, front legs raised. A hare with seated body facing left, head facing right. The Monarch hare, seated, facing the viewer. A hare facing left, seated, with hind legs slightly raised, eye looking right. A hare facing and looking right, seated, with one front paw lifted. Below the hares, hand-drawn gold lettering says “The Monarch of all Hares & Their Entourage”. At the end of the lettering on the right is a martini glass with orange liquid and a full carrot garnish, and to the right of the glass is gold curly lettering saying “Club Night!”. The background is a yellow curtain in the club, and deep purple carpet. Clearly, the Monarch and their mates are in the VIH (Very Important Hares) section. Bottle service!

I’ve been slowly working on the colour version of club night with the Hare Monarch & their entourage. 🥕🐇🏵️🪩🍸

My thyroid is 86ing my energy levels, I hate it. 😒

An ink drawing of a hare with their back to the viewer, head turned around to groom themselves. One foot is visible, and the ears are curved to the left. The hare is decorated with bands of red and white carnations, carnation buds, and green carnation leaves. Their eyes are hooded, possibly looking at the viewer. The tail is one large red and white carnation with multiple petals, lower left. This is an 8.5x11.5 enlargement of a previous black and white sketch (9/21/25) with the eyes altered, and more petals added to the carnations.

I took a previous sketch from 9/21, scanned it, and printed it on 8.5x11.5 art paper, then altered it a bit, and worked it in colour.
Bob still thinks it looks angry, but this is more side-eye, not the fury of the original. 😁💜

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a hare sitting up, facing right, decorated with bands of pink roses and light green rose leaves. References: 19th century public domain art and postcards. The eye of the hare is a tiny rose, and the ears are roses layered over each other, like scales. The tail has a rose at the base, and rose leaves forming the rest of the tail. I love the rose/leaf pattern; this was the first of my hares in bands of flowers (I may have been new to drawing hares covered in flowers, but I’m not new to art!). I’d probably give it more detail now, but I think it’s still very pretty.

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a hare in profile, facing left, standing up slightly on their back legs, head raised and ears up. The hare is decorated with bands of red poppies, poppy flower buds, and green poppy leaves, with two poppy flowers and five flower buds for a tail. The centers of the poppies are gold, with dots around the edges. The hare’s eye is an enlarged black pupil with a little bit of brown iris, outlined in gold. Their ears are two large single poppy leaves, and their whiskers are gold. They look like they’ve heard a noise, and they are checking if it is safe. I think of these hares as King* Hare’s attendants, as they would look very striking against the King’s white fur. *I’m not sure King Hare is male, but “Monarch Hare” isn’t as lyrical.

The nice thing about repeating an idea is exploring all the possibilities. Could it be…

PRACTICE? 😀😃😂

Nah, that’s nonsense, I tell you, nonsense! 😜😆💜

This is 9/30/25’s sketch, finally finished. I wanted to make it look beautiful, so it took several layers of ink, marker, and paint to give it depth.

These are King Hare’s guards/attendants; red and green against his white fur.

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a hare, seated upright, facing left, with their head turned to the right and down. They are decorated all over with a pattern of garden daisies in white with pink tips and a yellow center, and ragged edged leaves in shades of green shading from light to dark. Their tail is a large daisy with the petals fanned out, and their eye is a daisy flower with the yellow center as pupil. Their whiskers are long stems with small daisy buds at the ends. Their ears are single ragged-edged leaves shading from dark in the center to light at the edges. Overall leaf tone is yellow green. Background is blank.

I finally finished my daisy hare from 9/9/25! The daisies were surprisingly difficult, and required several layers.
And I’m still slow from new meds.
But it’s finished! Yay! 😀💜💜💜
