#reddeerstag

The Bushy stags are fattening up on grass and early acorns and conkers ready for the rutting season. They’re so chill this time of year but I always make sure to give them a wide birth so as to not stress them out 🦌 . . . . . #deer #reddeer #reddeerstag #shotoniphone #iphonephotography #bushypark #snapseed #snapseededit https://www.instagram.com/p/B1GQC03Amo7/?igshid=1ros6as0hgmit

I am delighted to announce that my abstract artwork titled The Stag Call and the Tree of Life has been chosen for exhibition in the Under the Oak gallery as part of the Mountshannon Regeneration arts festival on the 24th to the 26th of September. I was inspired to create this work as i wanted to capture the strength of a Red Deer Stag, to portray it’s power and the animals links with Celtic Mythology, secret knowledge, life, fertility and vitality. The antlers themselves are a symbol of the tree of life, a symbol of regeneration. The main challenge with this work was express the animals gaze into the sky and to do this in metal and represent it was difficult and testing, but i feel i have done this fine King of the forest justice. Medium: Salvaged 50 year old copper on plaster and board: Fully handcrafted by copper relief, fold forming and patina finishing methods, with shades of Black Patina through the body. This is an original Artwork, edition 1 of 1 I will post other works that have been selected in the next few days, many thanks for viewing.

My last research trip to the Highlands..plenty of encounters with the Red Deer Stags. . . . . #reddeerstag #highlandstags #scottishhighlands #albagamefishing #westcoastofscotland #visitscotland (at Achiltibuie) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvpVM6nDOJ3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6xa9bxdt384r

Bumped into these two magnificent wild beasts today in the Highlands. They didn’t seem too bothered by me. I took this from the window of the Land Rover a few miles south of Inchnadamph. Inchnadamph is an anglicisation of the gaelic name Innis nan Damh meaning Medow of the Stags. . . . . . . . . . #inchnadamph #reddeerstag #hiddenscotland #albagamefishing #westcoastscotland #nc500 #instascotland #lovesscotland #outandaboutscotland #scotlandgreatshots #scottishhighlands #roadtripscotland #landroverdiscovery4 (at Inchnadamph, Highland, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BslCEydDE1u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ng7sfbac0j12
