"Over the years I must have been asked 100 times, `Do you have prints of this painting?' Every time it was exhibited, the question would come up. Of course I wasn't about to sell the original because this is the only painting Dad gave specifically to me! It was done for an illustration in Sports Afield magazine of rabbits dancing in the moonlight. It was exhibited at the Westport Library in 1950, the Westport Illustrators show in 1975 and was used by Peaceable Kingdom for a holiday card in 2001 & 2002. Look carefully and you'll see my favorite bunny `way back in the upper right corner, all alone."
