🥕 “Raised Hare” by Hope Blakely
A harmonious blend of spontaneity and realism, with a soft whisper of wonder.
Raised Hare is a compelling mixed-media piece, beginning with a delicate watercolor wash and brought vividly to life with expressive oil overtop. The result is a perfect interplay of translucent layers and rich texture—ideal for capturing the soft fur, alert ears, and soulful gaze of this curious hare.
He’s caught in a quiet, thoughtful moment — freshly plucked clover still tucked in his mouth, as if he’s pausing mid-snack to scan the meadow.
