This beautifully sweet piece is by the renowned contemporary artist, Gary Benfield; an artist with the fantastic talent and ability to draw and paint in several different forms and styles, including figurative, landscape, equestrian, architectural, and natural still life. Nature is a key influence in his art, not only through the subjects he tends to choose, but also through his choice of colour palette, as seen here.
This piece is surrounded by a wonderful air of romanticism, not only for the literal summer romance that is blossoming between the two Hares, but also through Benfield’s style of painting. ‘Summer Romance’ holds a feeling of spontaneity and whimsy, creating a sense that Benfield has captured a brief moment between the Hares sitting amongst the whispering grass swaying in the fresh morning air.
