PAPAT 10th Anniversary International Pastelist Special Exhibition
Introduction
A vibrant and spiritual animal portrait. In the painting, a spotted rabbit sits upright with its ears held high and an alert gaze, capturing the viewer's attention. The inside of its ears glows with a sunset-like orange hue, contrasting with the soft background and the rabbit's white fur, creating a strong visual focal point.
Rita Kirkman excels at showcasing the movement of light and shadow and the harmony of colors through pastels. In this piece, she uses bold yet simple strokes to depict the texture of the rabbit's fur, its lively character, and its keen instinct for observing the world. This rabbit is not just an animal in the image; it is a spiritual symbol—alert, curious, and elegant.
