White-tail doe, Work in Progress. Scratchboard, 14 x 11 in. Copyright 2008, Tania Nault.
Just popping in quickly to show you an early progress shot of something I’ve been working on for the Saskatchewan Wildlife Art Association Reflections of Nature Show 2008. One of the special competitions is a “Saskatchewan Big Game” series: last year the subject was Pronghorn Antelope, this year, White-tail Deer. Now, I’m pretty sure my deer will be something of a long shot: she’s not a big, well-antlered buck, and it won’t be in colour. But it she is a lovely young deer and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to show her off.
