Mule Deer (Odocoileus_hemionus) Print

This painting depicts a prime Mule Deer buck bounding across the picture plane in mid-air. The sky is an expressionistic, stylized affair using the basswood panel's actual grain to simulate cloud formations. The saturated yellows and reds of the sunrise play against this magnificent animal. He is "stotting" ; a peculiar gait particular to Mule Deer. They bounce on all fours. This confounds predators. The Mule Deer's western habitat is threatened by encroaching White Tailed Deer. White Tail bucks breed with female Mule Deer resulting in hybrid offspring lacking successful anti-predatory behavior. This painting is a fertility talisman for the Mule Deer Stag. They've got to take back their western U.S. range and stop these White Tails from breeding with their does.
