Title: Bunny Plunking
Artist: Megan Sterling
Bunny Plunking is a mixed medium of graphite and watercolor. It is approximately 15x19" in size. The red in the umbrella and shovel catches the viewers eye first. But the implied line pulls the eye into the art work. The eye then looks deeper into the image. It sees the almost life like sculpted drapery shown on the woman's dress. Going down to the shovel and moving over to what appears to be a dead bunny.
The dead bunny could possibly be why the shovel is red. Megan takes light of death. The light background with the bright red creates a settling almost pleasant feeling, in a place where there should be a feeling of sadness and disgust.
Megan Sterling was an art student who got her BA at Boise State and later on went to the Art Institute of Chicago.
