Remember that "Mystery Portrait"?

I realized today that I never did give you the whole picture of this portrait from last November.  I gave lots of teasers over several posts because it was meant to be a surprise present, so I couldn't give it away.

Well, the present was given and received, so I'm free to share it with you now.

Bunny has a look much like my boy Brilly, so falling into those big brown eyes was easy and familiar.  

It was a fun challenge to paint this large.  

I finished Bunny right before I started my epic "Fall Portrait Marathon", which I'm still working on.  More on handsome Matt later!

Stay tuned!
