The beginning of many rabbit paintings to come, this is a painting that was influenced by the song "White Rabbit" written by Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane from the late 1960's. The song was a reflection of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and the drug induced era from which many rock groups emerged. Slick's One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small was equivalent to Carroll's liquid in the "drink me" bottle that made Alice shrink and then the piece of cake that said "eat me" that made Alice telescope to heights she'd never seen before. As I imagine Grace Slick was paying homage to Lewis Carroll, I am also paying homage to both authors in this little painting. "Slick," 11 x 14", oil. Thanks for reading.
