I have been interested in how close wildlife allows my Spanish greyhound and I to get to them,before they decide it is time go. This why I chose to create this painting. Although the hare is looking away, her eyes are set in such a way she can still clearly see the hound and whether she needs to move away or not. 

 

The space in between us and them varies a lot  according to the species, and also the individual animal. Some of the hares that live close by are so used to us we can happily watch them for quite some time before they decide to move on.

 

A lot of the greyhounds in this painting series are brindle with a grey face, however this pale coloured galgo Espanol suited the colour palette I had in mind and the light coloured hare inspired by their fur colour during the winter when they lose their usual brown coat.
