When I was a kid,
I always saw deer heads hanging on walls
- way up high. I guess they took
on a "larger than life" appearance in my
5 year old eyes and I never lost it. I'm
always surprised now when I see the size
of most deer in the woods. When I
happened on this scene, I was struck by
the beauty of these two does in the
midst of this these snow laden trees,
but the scene was missing something -
Something Big! So I sketched in what I
envisioned as the perfect buck - viewed
from that lower angle where I had seen
all the "big ones" as a kid, so this
buck would seem larger than life, too.
Winter Lace is dreamy on
purpose. Not only is the landscape a
winter wonderland of snow covered twigs
and branches, but that magnificent buck,
Wow! I want it to be your dream and
vision of one of the most beautiful
creatures on the planet.
