Original mixed media painting on gallery wrapped canvas. Size 70 x 70 cm.
A stag - proud, watchful, magnificent.
The king of the woods and mountains...
His gaze meets ours and asks:
Are you truly in this world or just on it?...
Are you like the polished marbles, touching but separate? ...
Do you feel any sympathy for the world around you? ...
This painting carries the call John Muir made more than 100 years ago:
"Most people are on the world, not in it - having no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them - undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone, like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate."
