“The fact that the game isn’t hung as a traditional brace but instead simply nailed to a rustic wooden fence gives me the notion this is the illicit spoils of a poacher’s bag! The soft tones of the underbelly fur of the hare and the rabbit, so skillfully painted, is complemented by the red climber in one corner while the duck’s speculum feathers are accentuated by the trailing green ivy in the other. The red flowers top left as an interrelation with the bottom right foliage hasn’t gone unnoticed. The rust stains on the fence and the attendant flies are tiny but wonderful observations and the glow of yellow light with the reddening vine to me echo an early autumn evening.”
