Next painting of the New Year A Deer

I met this deer one September afternoon in Montana. Strolling through a park with a fellow artist/friend we saw this deer with two of her young'n. She seemed to instruct her kids to go ahead and hide while she would deal with these curiosities.

So here she is. I just worked on her one day so far and still have some more work to go.

12" x 16" Oil on linen.

More work done next day...Going to call this complete!
