In this tranquil forest scene, a rustic, wooden cabin partially enveloped in mist rests among the trees. The cabin has a weathered, shingled roof with a stone chimney from which a wisp of smoke is emerging, suggesting a warm fire might be burning inside.
In the foreground, a majestic stag stands by a twisted oak tree looking towards the house. This red deer with a full, branching antler rack, and short shaggy mane seems to be paying the residents of the little log cabin a visit. It is a place where humans and wildlife coexist in peace.
The forest is dense and appears to be in the throes of a misty morning, with sunlight filtering through the canopy above. The undergrowth is lush, with tall ferns and grasses, and the trees are large and old with moss-covered trunks, enhancing the sense of a serene, undisturbed natural environment.
From the artist: I recently moved into a new house. It's actually in a rather dense suburb of Atlanta, but it is an area of rather old neighborhoods with homes built as much as a century ago. If you know anything about North Georgia, that means even though it's a suburb, it's also overgrown with forests and filled with rather tall trees, thick underbrush, and lots of kudzu...LOTS of kudzu. I can't even see some of my adjacent neighbor's homes for the foliage. One thing that comes along with this area is wildlife. The first day after moving in, I had deer in my back yard traveling along the creek that runs alongside my home. It gave me the idea to create this scene.
Thanks for looking!
