"Hare" 2001
Acrylic on canvas 20 " x 16 "

Hares are symbolically rich. Most cultures have some mythical story about the hare, and ancient cultures worldwide see a "hare in the moon," not a "man in the moon." This painting represents two of the most popular myths: hare as trickster and hare as a symbol of the moon. This hare is juggling little moons, while sitting on the floor beside him is a magician's hat and a deck of cards.
