Ces lièvres en fuite m'ont rappelé l'un de mes tableaux les plus vendus, « Lièvres en fuite ».
Le lièvre de tête est une femelle et les mâles courent après elle avec enthousiasme.
Elle court pour tester leur force. Elle finira par s'accoupler avec le plus rapide et le plus en forme.Il est étonnant de voir les lièvres dépenser autant d’énergie pour faire la cour alors que de nombreux animaux luttent simplement pour survivre dans ces conditions difficiles.
Ils ont cependant dû se contenter de manger des brindilles et de l’écorce des haies.

I just found you for the first time in the form of greetings cards in a shop near my home town of Lancaster in Lancashire. I was impressed by your work and its excellent standard….I’m now going to keep my eye on you and have become one of your ‘Followers’ and am also considering linking to you from my blog http://woodruff4.blogspot.com
love the hare sitting in the snow the most! perfect!
thanks for your dedication to the animals :)
Hares are wonderful animals, Robert, and I am fighting with others to stop the so-called ‘sport’ of hare coursing becoming legal again. Keep up your great work and thank you for the perfect pheasant Christmas cards.

You have done a fantastic job following the Hares in the snow, a picture I would love to get, but seeing up to 50!
Very well done.

This is a great series of posts. I never knew that hares were so gregarious and that their behavior was so interesting.
