Charcoal on paper 76x56 cm Unframed I keep going back to drawing hares as they are far and away my favourite animal in the UK. They are graceful, mysterious creatures with huge eyes and long, long ears. Hares are not still for long as they are shy, hyper-alert animals and they are hard to spot as they are usually concealed by the crops in the fields they run in.
Cutting out pieces of paper from among other sources the dried palettes I use for my abstract paintings, I am creating a new body of highly coloured work: Hares, Birds, Cows Wolves so far. 56x76cm Unframed

It's been fascinating to work on this series of Collage Hares, giving me so much freedom to choose the colours and make the printed paper to use for the cutouts. It's very painstaking work carefully retaining the anatomical structure while going all out with exuberant colours. Hare 6 Collage on paper 46x61cm Framed
