And sleeping under all this snow? The Lenten Season has just begun, and though it means a time of solemn return to the Lord in preparation for the Easter Celebration, the ancient Teutonic roots of the word “Lent” means “Springtime.” Nothing could ever represent better the abundance of nature’s rebirth in Spring as the furry rabbit, so prolific, and such a symbol of new life. I admit, I am getting ahead of our situation with this painting. Spring is still more than a month away, but it is not a bad idea to begin any project with the end in mind.
