‘Hare of the Hare’, watercolours on paper, 20 x 24cm
A curled up hare who leapt into the sky…
For my work in ‘Silver’ I wanted to create paintings that would reflect the sense of celebration of our 25th studio anniversary along with my interpretation of Barbara’s beautiful poem.
I painted 8 tiny magical watercolours like precious treasures choosing circles to mirror the cyclical tone of the poem. The imagery embraces the enchantment of nature. I felt a connection between the cycle of nature in the poem and that of life itself and the renewal and resilience we build over time. I also made 2 larger paintings which are based on an ornate design of symbols I made to illustrate the words of the poem.
