Thickly built up paint in red, yellow, purple, green, black, white, and blue multicolors completely covers the canvas. The surface texture is so thick that it has a sculptural quality. My abstracted bunny paintings are based on loose, gestural sketches of the same stuffed toy rabbits in different positions. I have painted and sketched these particular stuffed animals from life on many occasions so am familiar with their shapes and forms. I initially paint the forms of the toy bunny rabbits, then push the image further into abstraction. In the painting process, I work to alter the forms, light, colour saturation, and depth of space in the paintings. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"normaltextrun\"\u003eThe fast-drying acrylic paint allowed me to build up thin layers and texture, then I adjust luminous oil paint on top to bring out certain colours. Over multiple painting sessions I worked to create variety in the shapes, lines, planes and spatial depth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"normaltextrun\"\u003eThe bright and fun colours come from the overwhelming children’s toys that fill my home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"normaltextrun\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe original painting is signed on the back and was painted from 2019 to 2022. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"paragraph\"\u003eThis original painting ships directly from my art studio in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. \u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbstract Mommy Mayhem Bunny Painting was exhibited in:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003eToronto Outdoor Art Fair, Booth A-24, July 15th to 17th, 2022 in Nathan Phillips Square, 100 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGradEx 107, May 11 to 15, 2022, OCAD University, 100 McCaul Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5T 1W1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatch a Quick Video of Mommy Mayhem: Bunny Landscape #7\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/in4UgzMiE5M\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Rachael Grad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42947530064110,"sku":"","price":674.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0209\/3858\/8224\/products\/AbstractToyBunnyTexturedPaintingbyTorontoArtistRachaelGradforGradEx.jpg?v=1652260728","url":"https:\/\/rachaelgrad.myshopify.com\/products\/painting-mommy-mayhem-bunny-landscape-7","provider":"Rachael Grad - Contemporary Artist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
