comes this charcoal drawing I did
fifty-one years ago in 1974
when I was still in high school.
Positively yellow with age it is!
At that time I was an absolute fanatic for Renaissance Art.
One of my favourites was this piece by the
German artist Albrecht Durer -- "Young Hare, 1502."
Doing a "sort and cull" recently on a battered box
of ancient stuff belonging to my Mom, I found
my old drawing again, saved by her all those years.
So now I'm sharing it with you!

...mom's love to save special things!
It's beautiful but a hare? I think reader Tundra would rather see a Tundra Bunny.
I envy your artistic ability. My dad was an artist but made a living as a sign painter. My sister and brother got more of the art genes than I did. Oh well. Keep up the great art.
Awwe, sweet little bunny.
That's a great drawing, and it must have been fun to find it after all these years. I was in high school in 1974 also, and in some ways, it doesn't seem so long ago, but it sure was, wasn't it? Have a super weekend.
A nice mom, saving a good drawing, awwww.
I have stick figures drawings my dad saved and had on his bulletin board in his office still to this day. Such wonderful memories!
Wonderful drawing!
Nice to find those old treasures. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
A great drawing ๐๐ผ
Happy weekend ๐ฐ๐
Wow, you were very talented at an early age!
Sweet your Mom kept it!!
So you've always been an artist. It's a beautiful drawing.
Oh, I love it!
And I can see the influence.
And the seventies, huh? Whoa.
XOXO
You always been a great artist!! :)
Oh the Rabbit is awesome ~ hugs,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

I love the hare, too, you really did it justice. Have a great weekend, hugs!
๐ Snarky bunny! And perfect for today! ๐๐๐จ๐ฆ Congratulations to Canada for winning the 4 Nations FaceOff!! Beating the USA!! I love that the singer of "O Canada," Chantal Kreviazuk, changed the lyric from "true patriot love in all of us command" to "true patriot love in ONLY US command!" ✊️๐ And kudos to Justin Trudeau for his immediate twiXt: "You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game!" ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ
Your 'after Dรผrer' piece from high school is stunning. I so enjoy Dรผrer, by the way. He was truly ahead of his time.
@ Cleora Borealis -- Yes, how sweet it is! Or as my sister said to me in a post-game email -- SUCK ON THAT, TKACHUKS!
As soon as I saw your drawing Albrecht Durer's hare immediately sprung to mind - well done Debra.
Lovely art Debra
Excellent. Next you should do a tundra bunny!
it sure was nice to see a snow white hare leaping from the heather on the moorland yesterday!! couldn't grab a camera in time.... sorry
It looks great. And how lovely your mum saved it I bet she treasured it every time she looked at it
Lots of natural artistic ability there, even in high school... too bad you had to put art on the back burner to make a living as an ugh, lawyer, LOL!
Looks like the hare in my parents' garden. Gorgeous hares.
Wow! That is amazing that you still have this fabulous piece of art. You were a star back then too. Thank you for sharing with FFO.
Love the bunnies!
I see you trimmed the bunnies nails.
