Boxing Hares - Mad March Hares

A painting of two hares for sale

This original piece is one of a series that features pairs of hares, surrounded by the magic of a wildflower meadow. I have two available pieces, and this one is’ March Hares’. Traditionally these could be called Boxing Hares, but in reality, this is more like two hares playing and having fun. The piece is quite unique, with all of the little flowery details. I came up with the idea while walking my dogs one morning last year, on one of those days when Spring is in the air and the wildlife is very much in evidence!

This piece is available for sale here

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.
