Seeking Safe Haven

32″ x 24″  Acrylic (Acrylic on 300lb watercolor mounted on 1.5″ birch raised panel)

I enjoy watching the wildlife and have grown fond of seeing the deer and learning their body language.  This doe is attentive and somewhat pensive, exposed in the open, she is seeking safe haven in the shelter of the nearby woods represented in the dark background as well as the “portal” looking up through the leaves once safe haven is reached.
