Artists’ statement:

 

This is a painting of Eddy Boy in the tree tops, looking around the bushes.

 

Eddy Boy is my favourite soft toy rabbit – I love him and he is “close to my heart”. A dear family friend gave me Eddy Boy and I have made lots of artworks featuring him.

 

I like to paint with pretty colours, especially red
