(2025 post) Art Up Close: This sensitive rendering of a black-tailed jackrabbit is by Sheridan Oman, a 20th-century artist known for his depictions of North American wildlife. He worked for many years as a zoo staff artist, which allowed him to study animals up close. In this etching, he uses curving lines of various weights to suggest the downy fur of a young hare.
