About The Original Painting
Painting Title: Deer
Created: 2014
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 20" x 16"
Step into a moonlit scene of natural wonder from the Beautiful Bodies series, where a skeletal deer stands in quiet vigilance beneath a majestic oak tree. Spanish moss catches the silvery light of the full moon, creating an ethereal dance of shadows against the star-filled sky, while the deer's alert pose suggests both vulnerability and grace.
Each element of the composition has been thoughtfully crafted to convey the mystical quality of wilderness at night. The deer's skeletal form captures both the fragility and strength of wildlife, while the ancient oak and its curtain of Spanish moss create a distinctly Southern gothic atmosphere beneath the celestial display above.
This artwork belongs to the broader Beautiful Bodies collection, a series that invites viewers to embrace the meditation "Be In Your Body and See with Your Heart." The skeletal form symbolizes our fundamental connection to nature and the animal kingdom, while the featured heart represents our innate capacity for nurturing relationships with the natural world.
The artist's thoughtful color palette carries deep symbolism throughout the piece: black tones ground the work in wisdom, white elements emphasize our universal interconnection, and red accents pulse with passionate energy.
This piece continues the historical artistic tradition of "memento mori," joining a legacy of macabre celebrations of life and death that spans from neolithic art to contemporary works. However, it transcends the traditional somber tone of this genre by infusing it with the magic and mystery of nocturnal wildlife.
Perfect for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the serene beauty of moonlit nights, this print serves as a beautiful reminder of our connection to the natural world. The atmospheric composition invites viewers to pause and experience the quiet majesty of a deer's midnight vigil, feeling both the solitude and the interconnectedness of all living things.
Materials and Technique:
The composition artfully combines layers of black, ethereal washes of color, and varied dots and lines, complemented by subtle touches of realism.
