Oil and acrylic on wood panel.
24 x 24 in.

One day I caught a brief glimpse of a documentary about rabbits and made a sketch inspired by a moment in a rabbit’s jump. I generally try to preserve the raw energy of the initial sketch when moving to a larger painting. Hares are a common sight in my semi-urban habitat – always around, but evading you – and serve as a reminder both of my animal nature and my artificial distance from it.
