Folie a Deux at Melbourne Festival
Two Hares’ Racing and Chasing
My unique painting of two Mad March hares had an outing at the weekend, at Melbourne Festival.
They attracted a lot of stares! This painting is now for sale on my website - international shipping!
Hare paintings For Sale
This piece is 50 x 50 cm and is now sold. Please contact me if you would like to commission your own hare painting on canvas. Hares are one of my favourite animals, perfect as a painting subject with their shabby-elegant looks and beautiful faces.
I like to create atmospheric textures and this piece is a good example of this. The background is made up of four or five layers and dry brushwork in several colours to give this wild and blustery effect.
