Description
'Sun Storm' - painting of deer and stag on alert, ready to move. Depicting animals on the move can be challenging but sometimes the difficulty of a situation can bring something of value to the final image. In this painting, of a mob of deer on the run, I've used the loose gestural technique that I employ when painting ballet dancers moving from one pose to another and / or drawing figures in poses that cannot be held for long. By working quickly and loosely, a feeling of movement can be captured that brings a sense of life to the picture. Blue in the background contrasts with the underlying yellow ochre, slightly electrifying the former to create a sense of changing weather, the switch between sun and rain perhaps. This further emphasises the idea that this is the capture of a fleeting moment while the poised calm of the stag compared to the jittery body language of the females completes the narrative. The finished painting is 20"x16" and entitled "Sun Storm".
