The funny rabbit in a unusual Easter Monday (oil on paper)

Hello hivers, I wish you an awesome Easter Monday.
Today is an unusual Easter Monday here in Italy, I have to be honest.
Even if I'm not a practicing Catholic person, like the most part of italian people around my age I grew up in a catholic family, so when I was a child we used to go all together to the Church on Sunday morning, the sacraments starting from the baptism when I was just a couple of months old. Along the time, since I was a young girl, I stopped to go to the church on Sunday morning and now I just go inside a church to visit it (there are wonderful churches here in Tuscany region), for weddings of relatives or for funerals. Even if me, my family and relatives and also my friends are not practicing catholic people, to live here in Italy means to be always in contact to the catholic rites and people. I wrote this because so you can understand how it could be a little "shocking" to start the Easter Monday reading about the death of the Pope. Maybe"shocking" is not the right word, because everyone here knows the Pope was not in good health during the recent times, but it was a sad news today and the bells of the churches around my home rang a lot this morning while the news were running on the socials and on whatsapp . It seems all the people who was ready to celebrate the Easter Monday now decided to stay in silent, quiet at home. The same for me, I spent a wonderful Easter Day with my family and I'd like to celebrate this day in a happy way, but I feel a sad atmosphere around and so I'm spending this day like I use to spend every day: between my brushes and colors.

I wanted to start this content wrote about the Pope because I feel not comfortable with myself starting with my usual "Happy Day to you all", not just to respect practicing catholics, but because, as you know, I live in Italy and here the Pope is always a very important (and loved) person also for not catholic people.

Coming back to the theme of this content, I want to share with you the artwork I painted yesterday in the afternoon:

Sure, yesterday was the Easter Day and so I thought to paint a funny rabbit. I was a little tired and so yesterday I didn't wrote a content about it, thinking to share it with you to wish you an Happy Easter Monday.
It's an oil colors painting on 200 gsm paper in A4 size and, like I use to do, I took some pics while I was painting it:
