A lone stag stands in deep snow on a windswept ridge, painted with thick palette-knife impasto that builds the drift and the animal's flank into sculpted ridges of paint. Ivory, slate blue and umber meet a muted rose dusk behind, while the ridge sweeps diagonally across the square, placing the stag just left of centre. A quiet, expressive study of cold light and stillness, ideal for a calm, contemplative wall.
