Time Out

The white-tailed deer is an herbivore—it eats plants. Deer graze on tree leaves, broadleaved herbs, and berries in the summer and acorns, grass, and herbs during the fall. During the winter, deer munch on white cedar, twigs, nuts, fruits, and corn and in the spring deer eat grass, wheat, and alfalfa. Deer have a four-chambered stomach that allows them to digest these plant foods. They gobble up their food quickly and hardly even chew. Later as they are resting, they cough up their food and re-chew it—so much for table manners.

In the wild, white-tails, particularly the young, are preyed upon by bobcats, mountain lions, and coyotes. They use speed and agility to outrun predators, sprinting up to 30 miles (48 kilometers) per hour and leaping as high as 10 feet (3 meters) and as far as 30 feet (9 meters) in a single bound.

Innocence-3 D Fawn Wall Art

This lovely 3 D wall art reflects the innocence of a fawn in the woods, surrounded by flowers and greenery. He hides to protect himself while still close to his mother.

This art measures 8 ½ x 11 ½ and weighs approximately 16.2 ounces. You will note in the bottom left hand corner and top right corner there are butterflies painted on river rock. The combination of wood and rock in this picture adorns the deer giving it a realistic background with a 3 dimensional experience.

In painting these 3 dimensional art pieces I want the picture to jump out at you as if you were really there enjoying the beauty and surroundings of this little critter. The aroma of the flowers, and the soft flutter of the butterflies encircling the magic of the forest and the true beauty of nature.

I hope I have captured his delicate innocence for you. Please enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed painting it. Below is a little information regarding deer fawns and their personalities.

Fawn-Deer

Fawns are young deer with spots that will eventually be replaced by a warm grey winter coat. They can walk within a very short time of their birth. The mother leaves the fawn in a safe place usually within hearing distance not necessarily sight distance.

The Fawn Deer is a keen observer, can see well in low lighting and its sensitive hearing allows it to perceive a twig snap in the distance.

They are graceful, majestic and gentle in nature which truly reflects their innocence.

A Deer totem teaches us to maintain our innocence and gentleness so we can share our openheartedness with others.

I thought I would share this quote with you.

Drawing is the art of being able to leave an accurate record
Of the experience of what one isn’t, of what one doesn’t know.
A great drawer is either confirming beautifully what is
Commonplace or probing authoritatively the unknown.
