    Hare Canvas Art - Animal Prints & Pictures for your Wall



    At Art by People we are always on the look out for canvas art pictures that really fit into modern & traditional interiors and are in tune with the interests of today. None more so, that the current picture fascination with that ancient of all creatures, the hare.








    In ancient times hares were believed to be the embodiment of Epona, the Goddess of the Moon. This was because they were observed during Autumn and Winter months to sit and stare at the moon, trying to see their own image. When Spring came, the spirit of Epona had entered them and manifest itself in the wild dancing, chasing and boxing of the Mad March Hare.We also discovered that Ojibwe tribe of the Western Great Lakes, Minnesota and North Dakota, consider the hare to have been the first teacher of animals and plants and founder of the art of decoration.






    Our artists Martin Shelley and Brian Hollingworth have create pictures that reflect this hare mythology. These are exclusive to us we hope you enjoy !
