Deer: Gentleness

16” x 20” acrylic painting on gold leaf, framed in a rustic gold frame.

The deer reflects quiet awareness at the edge of forest and field. Framed in gold, its presence feels calm yet watchful. Gentleness encourages you to recognize that strength can move softly — and still endure.

Number four in the "Gilded Virtues" series honoring enduring human strengths reflected through iconic American wildlife. Each painting is created on gold leaf and framed in a rustic gold frame, where the surface catches and shifts with light — evoking open plains, wide horizons, and the quiet radiance of the land.
