Dear ly

Sparkly Deer



Sparkly Deer In Fur Stoles




Long Haired Deer on my Couch




Mossy Deer
(Anthro)



Or Deer in Wreaths

I am Smitten!

{and I've got some deer paintings in progress}

My doe oil painting on the dining room mantle

This will be my simple Thanksgiving decor this year

This doe painting was inspired by a scripture in Psalms

"As the deer pants for streams of water,

    so my soul pants for you, my God.

   My soul thirst for God, the living God"
Psalms 42:1-3


...My paintings in progress feature bucks with glorious antlers,
{put on hold til our Thanksgiving feast is over}

Happy Thanksgiving!
May the love of family and friends fill all our hearts
~ with glorious gratitude ~

Violet Dear the simplicity of these deer is what makes them so alluring. We have real deer and they are equally beautiful and silent...except when they are voraciously munching our landscape. They do add to holiday/winter decor. Winter Bliss...

OH! I AM TOO! I AM TOO!

Violet, I may be crazy, but I love these dear heads! And the ones with the fur stoles? I saw a row of them (I told you) in the window of AMPERSAND (an Anthropologie style store) and they looked like the Rockettes, all lined up, in all their glittering glory!

Don't you just love this? Where oh where can I put up a deer head....

DAZZLE THE DEER! My goodness, does she know she is being photographed! SHE IS HILARIOUS! Look at those eyes, that expression!
