Fertility


I added the front of the deer’s long nose in primary yellow. I knew a while ago that the color would be there, but I hesitated unsure of the shape. I don’t know why I do that because the shapes are rarely, if ever, premeditated. I connected the large yellow pieces of the antler together and attached it to the deer’s head using cadmium yellow deep hue. Deer are rutting in meadow outside my window, and at dusk they dance across the meadow. I have to drive carefully on the winding roads so as not to run into one.

I also see many small dancing couples around the white figure with the round pregnant belly. Each of their heads are a sincgle color.

  1. It is an interesting and enlightening experience watching as the colors are added to this piece of art. My eye is drawn to the various blues no doubt because blue is my favorite color. (Is it because my eyes are blue?) Appreciate descriptions of what you and others see in the painting. However, I do not need anything specific to enjoy your art. Combinations of colors and shapes are enough.
