Another painting in the Hare and Hound series to be released early autumn 2020.

Inspired by my own dog a Galgo Espanol, an ex-hunting dog from Spain and her relationship with the local wildlife, I decided to do the first Hare and Hound series as small paintings of approx. 20 x 25 cm (8"x 10"). Some of these may be painted as larger works later.

It is fun to watch my dog indicate when there is wildlife around. She is always on the leash and they seem to know we are not too much of a threat, and allow us to approach to within a reasonable distance. Sometimes she seems indifferent to them, but other times very interested and back into her natural instinct to hunt. 

In a lot of the paintings the hare seems to have the upper hand. I let my imagination run away with me as in this one, where there seems to be co-operation between the predator and the prey.  This would never happen, but gives a positive image of the relationship with the Hound seeming to be helping the Hare - not sure what the Hare is worried about! What do you think?  

We walk similar routes, so I believe we are seeing the same animals: mostly brown hares, but also forest deer and if we are lucky a fox!
