A hare to welcome the spring

Everyone looks forward to spring! The days grow longer, the primroses emerge and the first butterflies appear. In the case of my painting Hare and Brimstone, it's a sulphur yellow brimstone. 

Hares seem to embody all the energy and excitement of the new season. They have long been associated with spring and new beginnings - and they become lively! Congregating in groups, racing across fields, and boxing as the Mrs Hares fend off eager suitors. 

Whimsical wildlife art with personality

Hare and Brimstone shows a brown hare pausing at a clump of primroses as a brimstone butterfly emerges.

In this painting, I wanted to capture something of the hare’s distinctive character with its massive ears and bright amber eyes. My folk-art inspired approach brings together expressive shapes, decorative details and a sense of storytelling, creating an image that feels at home in the fresh, hopeful mood of spring.

A little piece of spring for your walls

Created as an image for the springtime page of a calendar, Hare and Brimstone celebrates the season of renewal and the simple pleasure of noticing the wildlife around us. It will appeal to anyone who loves hares, British wildlife, colourful folk art and illustrations with a story to tell.
