Hares in the Meadow (2020)

Original media: Inks, gouache, acrylics, watercolour, loose pigment, collage, gold thread, 23 carat gold leaf

Painted as part of The Nightingale Project: a series of trees and nature inspired by lock down in The Calder Valley from March 2020 to March 2021 (and the brief escapes from it over the summer).

The children and I visited this meadow a lot over lock down. It’s below the mill up at Old Town. It was a good place to take a flask or a picnic after a day of home school lessons. Once lock down was eased a little, Gill and I would run up the steep hill to Gloria’s house. So the running hares are Gill, Gloria and I.

Available as a signed limited edition print, hand-finished with gold leaf and gold thread. All prints are mounted and can be posted, unless purchased framed.
