I have just been informed about this new Three Hares sculpture in this lovely wooden archway in Banbury in Oxfordshire, this is created by Philip Bews & Diane Gorvin. Here is a bit about it :- This is the second standalone sculpture of the 'Settlement' series, on ground overlying a deserted medieval village. Green oak boughs form a 'Cruck Arch' with a medieval woman's head at the apex. Three bronze hares are fixed into the arch beams and there are two carved bird corbels. On the collar beam is a quote from the Banbury Shepherd and a bronze shoe which historically was incorporated into buildings for good fortune. On the main arch boughs is carved the orientation – W. Two collars around the arch supports feature medieval tile patterns. The arch links to seating with a cat and mouse carved into the post and seat back. On the back of the seat is a carved relief showing medieval pottery, ale, cakes and Banbury cheese.

This brilliant image is certainly spreading, and will soon be as prolific as these wonderful animals!

THE GOLDEN THREE HARES

 This is my very latest painting of this magical subject, I have lost count of how many times I have now painted the THREE HARES in so many different ways and styles. This painting I finished during the very last days of 2024. I wonder how many times I shall be painting more hares in 2025! With very best wishes to you all, Eleanor xx

THREE HARES, NORTH BOVEY

 I am still finding new carvings of the Three Hares, my latest find was one carved on a gravestone in the churchyard of St John the Baptists Church in North Bovey. The church is one on my trail as it has a lovely three hares boss in its ceiling painted in ted, gold and blue. I had not noticed the one carved on the gravestone till I went there recently. I have put some photo's of it on my Facebook page.

 I am constantly surprised by the spread of the Three Hares Symbol which keeps popping up all over the world. Here is a fireplace that was made recently for a couple who have a house in Charleston in South Carolina and wanted the Three Hares placed in a shield on their mantle piece. This has been carved in Limestone for them by the famous stone carver Simeon Warren  https://www.simeonawarren.space/ . This picture shows it before it was installed in their house. They told me all about it when they visited my gallery in Chagford this week.

TRIQUETRA THREE HARES

 This is my latest Three Hares Painting. It is an oil painting with gold paint. This has quite a lot of spiritual meaning and a poem written around it which reads

The power of three is here to see, No beginning, no end, eternity. An ancient symbol of everlasting protection, Life, death and rebirth. Continuation.

In the night sky amongst the stars you can find the constellation of Leo, top left. Taurus, top right. Cassiopeia, bottom left and The Plough, bottom right.

I hope you like it.

 

                 

HUNTING HARES

 Here is my latest painting of a hare, as you see, I love painting hare’s although there are not many on Dartmoor, but if you know where to look you may be lucky enough to see one.

 We do however have plenty of the Three Hares images in and around Dartmoor, in fact, more than anywhere else in the world. There are quite a few to be found in Chagford where I live and have my Three Hares Gallery.

 Hunting the Three Hares has become quite an obsession with many people coming here in search of this amazing image, and some come from other countries miles away!

Welcome Back Trees & Hares in Threes

 I am sure anyone who drives down to Cornwall on the A30 will recognise these trees, they are often named the welcome home or nearly there trees. I have used both gold and silver paint in this picture which is my latest painting and if you could see it for real you would love the way that the paint really sings out, I have added the three golden hares as these are my thing and considered lucky by many.
