The Yule Hare - under the winter moon

Beneath the great winter moon, a solitary hare sits quietly amongst the frost-covered grasses.

The woodland has fallen still. Snow rests upon the branches and the earth glimmers beneath the moonlight, yet within the deepest part of winter, life remains.

The hare has long been a creature of intuition, transformation and the turning cycles of nature. Here, beneath the Yule moon, she becomes a gentle reminder that even through the longest nights, the wheel continues to turn.

There is no need to hurry the season.
Winter asks us to become still. To rest. To listen. To trust what is quietly growing beneath the surface, unseen.

And somewhere beyond the darkness, the light is already beginning its return.

The Yule Hare — Under the Winter Moon is the first painting in my Yule Collection, celebrating the old magic of winter, the beauty of the natural world and the returning light of the Winter Solstice.
