- Thanks, Robin, glad you like the painting. I don’t do prints of my paintings unfortunately, and since this is quite big, by my standards anyway, I can’t really do a high resolution scan and send it to you as my scanner is only A4 (otherwise I would). I’ve put the details of the exhibition in the Hare post on my blog, maybe you’ll get over and see it if you are in the area. C

Hmmmm…. I will be at Kilham, (Northumberland) for a week in May. While the purpose is to spend precious time with elderly family members, I might have to see if we could take a ride to Jedburgh! I would love to see your piece and the entire exhibition!

- Its quite a personal painting for me,so I am glad it got through to you, Doron. Hares mean something to me at the moment, I am soon going to start on the new pictorial draft of “The Midnight Hare”, as I think I have go the tmore or less as as I want it. Have been practising watercolour techniques, as my last rough didn’t please me. Hope you are OK, my thoughts are with you. x

I appreciate your thoughts it is not easy at the moment but I have to get through and with people like yourself it make it so easy to work at it. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and look after yourself and your family. Some time you realise in life that another small lines make no different, it is all about being able to do any, so enjoy every second xx

About

I’m Cara, and I live in Coldstream, in the Scottish Borders As well as writing and illustrating books for children I have recently been painting on canvas, in my octagonal studio (aka The Tardis) which inhabits a corner of the vegetable garden. My work for children has been published in several countries, and translated into different languages. My favourite form at the moment is the picture book, but I have also had published poetry, children’s novels, and illustrations for the work of other authors, and have worked extensively on projects with children. I go out most days with my camera and create blog entries from the results. Some of the pictures I take will be used as background material for the picture book which I am working on at the moment. My son Matty set up this WordPress blog for me, and it has added a dimension to my life which surprises me. It is also interesting and inspiring to read the blogs of other people from different parts of the world, and to look at their sometimes fascinating pictures.
