Boxing Hares

Boxing Hares

Boxing Hares

I watched these hares box the other day. I first spotted a group together in a field.
The there was a female in season and she had attracted a large gathering of males.

I watched for about half an hour before they sped off across the field in pursuit of this female.



You can see this female is surrounded by males.

I will be focusing on hares for my next exhibition which runs from June 4th - 19th and have just finished this painting for it:
