The encounter unfolded one solemn winter morning in the field adjacent to our former residence. Amidst the somber winter landscape, a crop of barley lay dormant. The farmer’s plan was to plough it back into the earth come springtime. Unbeknownst to many, this field served as natural camouflage for an old Jack hare. Over the weeks we saw him, it was clear that he would conceal himself amidst the frozen remnants of the harvest. However, the morning’s hoar frost rendered the landscape rigid, allowing Gary to approach the hare ever-closer. The result? The photograph that served as the direct inspiration for the artwork.

Throughout my journey as an artist, I’ve tried various surfaces & colours… From acrylics on boxed canvas to the refined oils on board I now employ. Each combination wields a distinct influence over the final outcome. Canvas imbues a rustic charm, its weave adding texture. For intricate details, only oil on board suffices, offering subtle nuances and unmatched ability to blend.

Yet, my attention extends beyond the artwork itself; the frames for Original Artworks hold equal significance. Through experience, I’ve learnt how a well-selected frame can elevate a piece, sometimes even reshaping its interpretation. Every choice, from canvas to frame, is a deliberate step towards crafting not just art, but an experience.
