This is part of a series on rabbits and trees. The idea is to carve the trees as real as possible making them the real focus of the carving. The animals are secondary but they are also an experiment with fur details.
This carving is from 8/4 basswood with the dimensions at 12" x 26". The background has been carved down to 1/2" in some areas.
When done the branches in some places will be completely free from the background. I am thinking about bleaching the rabbit and the snow but will wait to see how it comes out. The carving is about halfway done.
Any and all comments are welcome.
