Silence

"Silence"
6" x 6'

The reference photo for this painting was taken by a very talented friend of mine in Georgia. His name is John Fortuna. This is one of his deer skulls (he collects cool skulls) and he photographed it in the snow. When he showed it to me I told him I was going to have to paint it because I found it to be a very powerful image. It makes me feel sad and reverential at the same time. Nature is beautiful, but harsh. I love his image and hope I have done it justice.
