Original artwork description:

Impressionist composition inspired by the amazing expanses of north Finish wilderness. That vastness and wildness, the seemingly endless natural space is what I wanted to evoke here, Not delineating elements, focusing on harmony and light instead. The couple of reindeer completely immersed in their natural space.
It's very multilayered work too. Started as rather detailed and complete unto itself charcoal rendering, further worked with gouache, layers of varnish and multiple oil paint glazes. The final image matured for a long time and I'm very happy with it.
The work is on a panel I prepared (fine 300s/m Canson paper mounted onto archival synthetic board). I will have it framed upon your purchase and send it ready to hang (the simple frame presented here on the photo is just for general impression - I think the golden tonality will emphasize the painting's palette best; allow about 7 days for my framer to have the painting prepared for dispach)

Materials used:

charcoal, guache, varnish and oil paint on fine acid-free 300g paper mounted on mdf panel
