Chinoiserie Blue & White Rabbit Art Print | Crum Art

The whole set went porcelain blue. The rabbit kept her own coat. Chinoiserie Rabbit — Bunny Wall Art by Betsy Crum A brown-and-tan rabbit sits calm and upright among blue-and-white ginger jars, each jar painted with its own tiny bird, while orange peonies climb the toile behind her. She is the warm one of our chinoiserie set: where her siblings turned delft blue, she stayed exactly the color a rabbit ought to be, and the orange florals lean in to agree with her. The result is blue and white art with a golden streak — porcelain pattern, cottagecore art heart, and one entirely unbothered rabbit holding court in the middle of it. The set itself is a love letter to stock-show kids — county-fair animals painted like the china your grandmother wouldn't let you touch. The rabbit sits for her portrait among the ginger jars like she's judged a few fairs herself and found them adequate. Where She'll Work in Your House Her warmth makes her the flexible one of the family. She flatters a blue-and-white dining room and a terracotta kitchen with equal ease, settles beautifully into a nursery or breakfast nook, and becomes the color moment in a gallery wall of cooler blues. She'll even soften a wall of western art — proof the rodeo crowd keeps a china cabinet too — and she wraps up nicely from our Texas gifts. Questions What's painted on the ginger jars? Little blue birds — each jar carries its own miniature scene, the way the best old porcelain always did. What makes her chinoiserie if she isn't blue? The company she keeps — ginger jars, toile, and pattern for pattern's sake, straight out of Europe's long romance with Chinese porcelain style. She supplies the farm-raised Texas twist. Is she part of a set? One of a whole barnful — farm animals, cowboy icons, and one wildflower in classical chinoiserie, from a chicken to a pair of cowboy boots. Who made her? Betsy Crum painted her in that brown coat against all the advice about the palette, and was right. Printed to order. More of Betsy's work here. Some animals in this set joined the pattern; the rabbit made the pattern come to her. If you love her independent streak but want the softer side of the barn, the lamb and the pig went full blue-and-white and look lovely doing it.
