Acrylic on stretched canvas, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

his painting is inspired by a childhood book titled Blossom and Boo - a story of two best friends, written by Dawn Apperly. Here, the pair are depicted sharing a bottle of wine over a dining table. However, the space is uncomfortable. The perspective seems flat and the subjects are pressed against the dark wall. A interrogative light hangs between the figures. The rabbit lacks expression - she seems confused or shocked as the bear speaks to her. It is an awkward situation made humorous by the ridiculousness of a dear and a rabbit together, drinking wine.

The large scale of the painting allows the viewer to feel almost included at the animals gathering. In dim light, at night time, the darkness of the bear appears to make him fade into the background. Is the bear cunning, devious or sneaky in his ability to disappear into the night?
