About The Original Painting
Painting Title: Owl and Deer
Created: 2014
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 20" x 16"
Step into a mystical nocturnal scene from the Beautiful Bodies series, where an owl and deer share a moonlit moment in nature's theater. Against a twilight sky, illuminated by a graceful crescent moon, these skeletal creatures embody the quiet magic of the forest at night. A majestic oak tree stands sentinel over the scene, its form silhouetted against the evening sky while earth tones below ground the composition in natural harmony.
Each element of the piece contributes to its enchanted atmosphere. The owl and deer, though natural predator and prey, coexist peacefully in this magical moment, their skeletal forms emphasizing the underlying unity of all forest creatures. The oak tree serves as both shelter and symbol of endurance, while the crescent moon casts its gentle light over the nocturnal gathering.
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 forms symbolize our fundamental connection to nature and our ancestors, while the featured hearts represent 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 woodland life.
Perfect for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the quiet beauty of nocturnal scenes, this print serves as a beautiful reminder of the harmony possible in nature. The atmospheric composition invites viewers to pause and experience the peaceful coexistence of woodland creatures under the watchful moon.
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.
