Woodland Stag Painting

My love of animals and Celtic stories woven around them is the inspiration behind this new series of paintings. Just a few small canvasses (9x12ins) of deer. The stag was associated with Cernnunos horned antler god of all wild animals, hunting and fertility. 

This painting shows the stag resting in the wood half hidden by foliage, inspired by a majestic willow tree near to my home. More deer to follow; well they travel in a herd ☺
