Marlyn Daggett's Rabbit Hole is an immersive oil painting that envelops the viewer in a surreal, dreamlike landscape. Dominated by soft blues, greens, and pastels, the large 8'x6' canvas presents a layering of imagery that blends whimsical elements with abstract forms. The focal point is a ghostly white rabbit, perched serenely within a dark, rounded enclosure that feels like a portal, drawing us into its mysterious world. Below the rabbit, a large, delicate mushroom-like form with polka dots adds an element of fantasy, its muted lavender tone contrasting gently with the surrounding brushwork.

The background is a medley of sweeping, textured strokes that mix organic and mechanical elements. A faint image of antlers in the top right suggests the presence of another creature or a symbol of nature’s wildness, barely emerging from the mist of the composition. In the lower right, a bulbous figure hints at a form, but remains abstract, as if blurred in the periphery of vision.

Daggett’s handling of oil paint is both gestural and subtle, leaving space for the viewer’s imagination to wander. The layering of color and form seems to echo an Alice in Wonderland-like journey, where boundaries between reality and fantasy become fluid. The painting invites contemplation of hidden realms, psychological depth, and playful surrealism, with the white rabbit acting as a guide to an unknown world. This piece, with its mixture of narrative hints and abstract expression, is both haunting and enchanting.
