Description
White Tailed Deer Thru The Birches – 21-3/4 x 29-7/8; Offset Paper; Edition Size 10000; $335.00 U.S.
“This white-tailed buck, moving behind the slender trunks of birch trees, sighted
you long before you spotted him. I know a lot of people might ask, “Why paint
a nice deer and then put all those branches in front of it?” but that is how you
see them in the wild. I also like the veiled effect of the delicate verticals of the
birches before the deeper horizontal planes of the painting. In Through the
Birches, I tried to create the illusion of a screen of tree trunks, branches, twigs,
leaves and grasses, allowing the viewer to discover this handsome white-tail.”
