but Richard Smythe  is gifted at the smudge tool in watercolor (right)

the rabbit is watercolor, but not smudged.

 

digital smudges are happy accidents to celebrate!

they are indigenous to children’s art and lives!

Footnotes

The word “Easter” and most of the secular celebrations of the holiday come from pagan traditions. Anglo Saxons worshipped Eostre, the goddess of springtime and the return of the sun after the long winter. According to legend, Eostre once saved a bird whose wings had frozen during the winter by turning it into a rabbit. Because the rabbit had once been a bird, it could still lay eggs, and that rabbit became our Easter Bunny. Eggs were a symbol of fertility in part because they used to be so scarce during the winter. There are records of people giving each other decorated eggs at Easter as far back as the 11th century.
