Deer III

Deer III, pen on paper
I'm gradually getting back into my art.

The wildlife that I see almost daily has influenced my recent drawings.

I've seen deer that roam near the trails that I've hiked.  Today, I saw one walking down the road from our rental house.  I got a photo of one which I used as the basis for the above portrait.

Wishing everyone a good weekend, and I look forward to catching up on everyone's Sunday sketches .

Love the job you did here because the patterns and neon colors are really fun and unexpected, and yet the image still captures the grace of the deer.

(You're so lucky that you get to see them near the house!)

WOW, Juana... I love the vibrant, almost neon-like colors in this one! It almost looks like cell drawings. I've been doing shamanic journeying this year, another step in my spiritual development, and the deer, the doe, the female deer is my power animal. So this was fun to see. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))

I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
