Description
There's a strong Spring theme with this work, the madness of March hares was an inspiration, I wanted to add ancient standing stones as a backdrop to the crazy hares running here and there for a hint of mystery and atmosphere. I hopefully managed to capture the crazy antics of hares during this time of year and also there is a hidden hare in this drawing, can you find all 5 hares? :)

Your detail is mind boggling!! I love the yellow mixed in with the grey tone.
Philip Harvey replied:
Much obliged Tony, and also thank you for your comment on my statue sketch, but I decided to delete it, not up to standard reasons, perhaps I'll change my mind after your fine comment though! ;)

Revisiting. Time to vote in the "Beauty In Art - Spring" contest, and for me it was an easy choice -- this one says Spring to me! Love it!

I really love this drawing. I found one hidden hare for sure, and two others maybe -- I'm fascinated by it! Wonderful job on the hare up close, especially the eye, but also on the pair to the left and the one in the center. You really captured their look. And of course I love your daffodils. :) L/F/sharing!
