Baby Shower
As these deer are all looking very rounded and theres a young deer present the title ' Baby Shower' immediately sprang to mind as an appropriate title. This drawing was completed using 9B and and HB pencil. The decision was to leave the background deliberately white with only an indication of grass at the deer's feet as their body markings were already quite striking and I didn't want to detract from that with a background. I like to think of a group of pregnant does meeting on a hilltop, or in the middle of a field to celebrate their pregnancy and young - maybe over humanising them somewhat but it brings a smile to my face to imagine it! This drawing can also be viewed under the tab 'Drawings'. Theres so many ideas for the next project but as time is so precious at the moment it is likely to be another pencil drawing as this can be completed in very small bursts in front of the tv or, as I keep promising myself, this type of work is so mobile, in my lunch break at work (but haven't done so yet). Maybe.....
