Description
"March Bride with Boxing Hares" watercolour .
A bride stands in a spring landscape contemplating her future. In the background a ploughed field, the church , two turtle doves,the sun risig as the crescent moon fades. A pair of March hares perform a mating ritual.
In the foreground a hare symbolising the groom emerges from a gift box which also symbolises the married state - a sort of unpredictable 'Pandoras box 'of the unknown !
The painting is all about new beginnings, fresh starts, hope and optimism .
Normally a shy animal, the European brown hare changes its behaviour in spring, when hares can be seen in daytime during this spring breeding season frenzy, chasing one another and boxing -one hare striking another with its paws, probably the origin of the term "mad as a March hare" from the observed antics, said to occur only in March.
