Deer and Bird One

Deer and Bird One
Original mixed media painting on wood panel, 11 x 14 inches
 
This expressive artwork captures a tender moment between a deer and bird in Mandi Murphy's distinctive mixed media style. The fox-colored deer is portrayed in warm oranges and whites with a graceful form that appears to be in mid-motion against a vibrant, textured background of coral pinks, deep teals, and golden yellows - a perfect example of contemporary western theme art.
 
The black bird, accented with purple tones, hovers near the deer, creating a narrative of connection between these two creatures. Green botanical elements emerge from the lower portion of the canvas, grounding the composition while adding depth and context to the scene.
 
Murphy's signature oil painting technique shines through in this 11 x 14 inch canvas—beginning with loose, expressive layers and gradually building up to more defined elements. The painting showcases her masterful approach to abstract realism, where the animals maintain their recognizable forms while simultaneously melding with their colorful surroundings.
 
The dynamic brushwork and rich textural elements create a mixed media painting that shifts and reveals new details with each viewing. "Deer and Bird One" brings both thoughtful serenity and joyful energy to any space, perfectly embodying Murphy's artistic vision of exploring connections between living beings and their environment.
 
This oil painting for sale is perfect for nature lovers, art collectors seeking unique western theme art, or anyone looking to add a meditative yet vibrant focal point to their home or office. The mixed media approach creates depth and texture that simply can't be captured in prints.
