PAINTED DEER SKULLS

The colours, vibrancy and designs of the Mexican celebrations 'Day of the Dead' inspired me to paint a goats head, that I found washed up on the beach one day. Then the next thing I know, I have my friends asking me to paint deer skulls. I only support ethical hunting and so am aware of where the skulls have come from. There is something quite beautiful about painting a natural 3D form, and the challenge of painting around antlers makes it all the more interesting and fun.
