I dedicated my mural to the 20th century artist Edward Hopper and to the rabbit who lived under the shed, whom I named after him. These portraits were painted (and photographed) in very close quarters. I think the retaining wall was less than two feet from the wall of the house at this point. Edward Hopper, the artist, is my favorite artist of the 20th century. His most famous painting is probably Nighthawks, seen below. Click on it to read a bit more about him.

The rabbit, Edward hopper, was bold. They came very close and did not mind me talking to them. I really don’t know if it was a male or female; or even if it was more than one and I only saw one at a time, and they all had identical markings. But they were nice to have around as I was painting.
