Bright and Shiny

After being sprayed in his impressive protective overcoat, Scarlet Red Hare met his 80 plus pals at Burford Garden Centre. Sadly I was away in Berlin, but Ann Taylor and Abigail Large went on behalf of myself and the Museum in the Park and were impressed by the feast of creativity. After the preview, the hares were al taken to their destinations where they will be for the rest of the year. Scarlet Red Hare is now looking regal and on guard in the courtyard of the Museum, welcoming visitors as they enter. It's the perfect spot as visitors enjoying a cup of tea can get a clear view of his rear - which is just as important as his front in my opinion! Here he is in his final resting place for all to admire and enjoy.

Hare highlights

After finally putting the last few touches to Scarlet Red Hare, we took him outside into the Museum courtyard to get some photos done. Suddenly he seemed to come to life with the natural light on him. He may even get the award rear of the year with his fetching tennis ball tail!
And then it was hare removal time....having worked so hard on him and seeing him come to life, it felt hard letting him go to join his friends in Burford. What worried me most was the thought that the paint would run when he got sprayed....did I cover all the acrylic paint marker? As I am away in Berlin until March 10th, sadly I won't see him in Burford Garden Centre where he will meet his fellow hares for the first time on March 9th. I do hope you stand up tall Scarlet Red Hare and do Stroud proud!
