Three Hares at Gwithian Towans


 Another visit to see the beautifully carved sign to Gwithian Towans near Hayle in Cornwall. It has aged beautifully since my last visit when it had none of the yellow lichen on it.

THREE HARES of DARTMOOR


 This is a small watercolour I did of this brilliant image painted to look as if the hares are made from Dartmoor granite. It is now framed and will soon be on display in my lovely Three Hares Gallery in Chagford and also on my website https://www.devonsnatureinart.com

THE THREE HARES SYMBOL


 Here is a new painting and poem that I have just finished. Over the past sixteen years I have been inspired to paint the Three Hares image so many times and in so many ways, its meaning is always a bit of a mystery and can lead to so many interesting paths of conjecture. The poem I have written as part of this painting is 

Upon the moon the three hares run - A meaningful symbol of ancient times - When man once worshipped the rising sun - And the moon and starts were important signs - Of eternity and rebirth and life to come

Do take a look through my other posts on this blog if you are interested in this mythical image and also my website www.devonsnatureinart.com
