A Suitable...Bunny

Apologies to readers of the eminent Indian novel, A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth...

Last week in the midst of a wifi blackout and a looming visa appointment, I went in mad pursuit of a suitable chocolate bunny to draw for the March Sketch letter.

You would think in Paris, abound in chocolate bunnies at this time of the year, this would be an easy task.

You would be wrong. Many of Paris' witty bunnies are unsuitable for painting, decked out in only skivvies.

This Bon Marché bunny had possibilities.

But the ears were disproportionately enormous in my opinion to fit into my tea time still life.

These Bunny ears were too askew in my opinion.

Bunny ears sans bod would never do.

There were many suitable rabbits in London, probably dressed by Savile Row,

The Fortnum Masons bun was a dream come true, perfect for my still life setup. I wish I'd taken more pictures.

Another pretty British bunny. Evidently the English are not so inclined to go off the deep end when it comes to creating Easter bunnies as the French. Quelle surprise!

I went looking in children's shops on rue Cherche-Midi.

At last a suitable bunny even if not chocolate in Marie Puce at #60.

But my bunny light sketches were not pleasing sadly :((

Finally I gave up on the bunny idea and decided to go with a macaron watercolor that only required re-doing since I couldn't find the original. The original art naturally turned up once the re-do was done and printed out. Isn't that how it always goes. You can see the March print on ETSY.
Want to see more Paris Easter windows?
 Let us know.

Someone came out of the mad bunny pursuit best pleased.
