The Brown Hare - Original Oil Painting

This painting depicts a brown Irish hare caught in a quiet, reflective moment, its body still while its gaze drifts gently to the side. The animal’s posture feels unguarded, almost contemplative, as if it’s pausing between movements to take in its surroundings. Soft, earthy tones in the fur create a sense of warmth and natural realism, while subtle variations in brushwork suggest the texture of its coat without overwhelming the calm mood. There’s a quiet dignity in the hare’s expression - its eye calm and observant rather than alert or startled. This gives the piece a peaceful, almost intimate feeling, as though the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment in the wild. The composition draws attention to the curve of its body and the delicate angle of its head, reinforcing a sense of gentleness and ease. Overall, the painting conveys stillness and serenity, capturing not just the likeness of the hare, but a mood of quiet harmony with nature. Framed in a custom made white and gold frame to compliment the rich tones of the hare. Meauring 55cm by 55cm framed. Free delivery anywhere in Ireland
