Stag

A striking original A4 oil painting capturing a solitary stag in an arresting moment of connection. The creature's gaze meets yours directly, ears alert and pricked forward, while delicate early antlers frame its noble head. Rendered in a luminous palette of blues, browns, oranges and reds, the composition flows with soft, atmospheric washes that bring warmth and movement to the piece. A contemplative work that draws you into the stag's quiet presence.

I created this piece with a lot of oil paint medium to give it an almost watercolour feel.

I’ve then layered up more paint to carve those details back in.
