Day 4 - A Young Buck

"A Young Buck" (pastel, 12x9 inches)

Day 4 in my 30-Paintings-in-30-Days of November.

This handsome dude is one of our neighbors. He obligingly posed for me one afternoon. (For the reference photo that is!)

Here are some progress shots:

Thanks for watching! Please share!

Every spring the herd in our neighborhood has more than one set of twins, often boys. Here's one of last year's pair, beginning his new antlers. He and his brother frequently graze in our back yard, accompanied by various other family members.

Well, another day gone and I'll be late to bed again. Time really does speed up with age I think. I've just begun to get the workshop photos in my computer but  none are sized yet for uploading.

So here's "Buck", another who lives in the woods of our neighborhood. I like to think of him as "Doe"s mate.
