Original 8x10 Pastel Painting For Sale - "Closeup: Male Fallow Deer" : $50.00+ $6.95 Shipping and  Handling

Hello fellow art lovers!

Happy Saturday! The weekend is finally here and I know that a few of you can finally sleep in! And the weather is so cold, that few of us wanted to get out of our beds this morning, as we wished to stay bundled up, warm and toasty! 

Winter Storm Hercules has definitely made an impact! But I'm sure the kids are loving it . . . igloos, snow angels, hot chocolate, ice skating, and sledding!  The weather's cold outside, but it's still a great opportunity to spend time with the 'lil ones! :)

This afternoon, my three little ones will be having a play date with a friend of theirs from school. There's a small little hill in the back of our yard, so the girls will spend a lot of time outdoors sledding and making snow angels. And, if I can talk my husband in to it, maybe we'll go ice skating a little later on . . . Hmmm, we'll just have to see.

Yesterday, me, my husband, and the kids went to Mendon Park, to take in all of it's wintery beauty. And while we were driving we noticed a little deer nibbling away at something on the ground. And the deer let us get so close to her! My husband ended up taking video footage of her and posting it on Facebook. 

The deer shown above in today's painting is not the deer that we saw yesterday, but is a deer whose photo was posted on "Paint my Photo." I used that reference photo in order to paint this pastel portrait. I hope you enjoy!

'Til later fellow art lovers!

Have a great day!
