Cute Animal Triptych

Traditionally, a Triptych is a painting or panel in three parts, often forming an alter-like shape. Sometimes, as in this case, it simply means three similar paintings with a shared theme or design element made at the same time.

Which is to say, I had three small canvases, didn't know what to do with them, and decided they should have cute little animals on them.

For an extra challenge, I decided to do each of these as a speed-painting. They might not be the prettiest things, but I like them.

Here's the former-Jackalope-now-Rabbit:

Here's the baby Mammoth (here's hoping he's not too cutesy for the Art Evolved Elephant gallery -- I don't know if I have time to work on anything else for it):

And here's a little guy you may recognize from last week:
