Ray and the Rabbit



Some pictures are worth more than 1,000 words.

We found The Rabbit in a sculpture gallery in Tubac, Arizona. It was subsequently sold to a home owner in Tucson for about $13,000 as a lawn ornament.

Ray, my brother-in-law, is a master mechanic for a large (high priced) car dealership. He's a cigar smoking, surly, cynical kinda guy - straight forward, no-BS - pragmatic. Often what passes for art escapes him. Here, he's coming to terms with The Rabbit.

Incidentally, after the homeowner bought The Rabbit and installed it in his front yard in the Foothills, thieves pulled up with a pickup truck and hauled it away. They were caught trying to sell it for $300.
