Original artwork description:

This painting shows an ethereal white deer stag appearing in a semi-abstract woodland. It is 30x36 x1.5 inches oil painting on canvas and is messy art nouveau in style. Colours are muted greys, pinks, oranges, purples and blue. It was inspired by the white fallow deer I often see around me in the Sussex area. Even though they are more common than people think (and can often be seen with black buck’s as well) they are still quite mesmerizing when you see them. The background is deliberately vague and a little strange which adds a fairy tale quality to the painting. The many overlapping layers of colour reflect slightly differently in different light conditions and this adds another dimension to the overall feeling of it. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, no frame needed.
