| Red Coat, Beagles & Hare |
 |
|
|

Limited
Edition
After attending a Beagle trial near Marmora, Ontario, I came
away disappointed because I did not have any good ideas to paint
from after the experience. After sitting down and reviewing the
photos I had taken that day - the red plaid jacket just begged
to be painted! I managed to work some Beagles into it and then
the hare pulled the story together. It's my 'laughing' hare -
laughing to himself while teasing the dogs - 'all this running
around and around is just going to give you gray hares (hairs)!
It was not until after I finished the painting that I was informed
it was common practice to leave a jacket behind after the hunt
so the stay dogs would return to it and be picked up the following
morning.
