Outer Banks Vintage Art: Wayside Wabbit

Wayside Wabbit

All along the causeway and on the way to Pea Island are these Wayside Wabbits feasting away on grass all summer long. I am naming this painting in honor of Bugs Bunny who Elmer Fudd called, "That Wascally Wabbit." This is one Eve Turek captured with her long lens who was lounging after a long, hot day of dodging vehicles and eating grass. He seems to have tangled with something because he has a notch in his ear. This is a pastel on Canson Mi-Tientes paper. It is a lot more difficult to work with than Wallis sanded because you can only get about 3 layers on it as opposed to the Wallis 21. But I think it works best for animal portraits or any portrait for that matter. 5 x 7 matted and framed to 8 x 10. $125. At Yellowhouse Gallery in Nags Head, NC.

About the Artist

A native of northern Ohio, Judith Bailey came to art at an early age. She was mentored by her mother, a hobby artist and her father whose hobby was photography. She spent many a day in her mother's studio, drawing and painting, or with her father outdoors, looking for wildflowers to photograph. After attending college, she began her working life as a graphic artist and has worked in that field for nearly 30 years. In the 1980's she moved to the Outer Banks of North Carolina where she still resides. She has a deep love of nature and has made it her life's work to portray its beauty in a variety of mediums: watercolor, pen and ink, soft pastels, acrylics and oils. She has been painting professionally since 2005 and her philosophy of art comes from her mother who once told her to “follow the light, day after day.”
