Horses And Rabbits

The painting, completed in 2009, frames local horses corralled in the fields overlooking Auchencairn Bay in South West Scotland which is the view from the artist’s home in that part of the world.

Rabbits are woven in and concealed within the fields immediately behind the horses. This highlights the freedom enjoyed by wild life as they blend into the environment in which they live.

150 signed and authenticated limited edition prints of the work were originally released for purchase, some of which are still available at £180 directly from Somerville Arts or selected art retailers.
