Jackrabbit 

Julie Bell, a contemporary American artist, created this oil painting depicting a jackrabbit in its natural habitat, possibly the American Southwest. The animal is rendered with striking realism, showcasing Bell's talent for capturing the intricate details of fur and flesh. The jackrabbit's large ears and piercing gaze create a sense of alertness and awareness. The warm tones and soft light in the background, suggestive of sunset, contribute to the overall mood of tranquility and serenity. This detailed portrait exemplifies Bell’s dedication to naturalism and her ability to evoke the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
