Inspiration:
Lush texture, vibrant color, beeswax & varnish create
delicious layers of color. The lyrical lines of the botanicals
mimic the lines of the shed horn. A shed horn is a antler that
has been naturally shed by the animal. Shed horns are symbols
of rejuvenation and vitality, some peoples believe that eating
powdered shed horns will endow them with those qualities. I
find those qualities in the flowers and leaves I've paired them
with. This is part of a series of antler art that includes one
painting in a main color: red, yellow, green and blue. This is
the only painting of this series of four paintings that
includes a deer skull. I chose to pair the skull with the green
color of verdant earth to symbolize the cycle of nature.
Purchase this painting or commission one.
