A new hare painting and a dog with a wonky tail!
One of our girls suddenly had a problem with her tail on Thursday night, and I sat up with her as she was panting and worrying about her tail and we didn’t know what was wrong. She wouldn’t let us examine her tail. She finally fell asleep but then was still having problems in the morning. We rang the vet but they were having an emergency and couldn’t get her in until the evening. So we spent the day babying her a bit and trying not to look worried. (Dogs pick up on a worried face immediately and seem to get worse). She performed at the vets as she is a bit scared around unfamiliar humans, so she was leaping around all over the place and scraping at my clothes, ripping them down! Anyway, the verdict was ‘Swimmers Tail’ a muscular problem caused by playing hard with her sister. She has a strip of anti-inflammatory tablets and is to take one twice daily for 5 days.
This morning (Sunday) she is back to her old, naughty, thieving self :)
During all this ‘excitement’ I have been painting this new hare in a magical garden. He has helped me stay sane! One more short session will see him finished and then I will post him on to my Art for Sale page. The canvas is 60cm x 76 cm and will be presented ready to hang, with gallery-wrapped sides.
Colourful hare paintings
I’m really enjoying these new colourful hare paintings, adding interest to their background in an intuitive way, it’s fun!
This is a wonderful way to handle the stress of the current situation.
This piece is from a lovely close-up reference photo, and I have used my imagination for the background and colour palette.
