Jackalope Moon
Jackalope Moon
12x12 inches | Mixed Media with Gold Leaf and Oil
The Jackalope stands poised within a dreamlike landscape, its majestic antlers reaching skyward like ancient branches connecting earth to cosmos. This original oil painting for sale incorporates genuine gold leaf inspired by Klimt's golden radiance that catches light and transforms throughout the day, creating a warm luminosity that bathes the scene in mystical energy.
Starting with my signature loose, exploratory mixed media approach, layers of spray paint, inks and acrylics build a rich textural background where teal blues dance against golden warmth. The realistic Jackalope emerges from this abstracted world, seeming to meld with its surroundings – a perfect example of abstract realism where the subject is neither fully separate nor fully absorbed.
The speckled coat of the creature combines detailed observation with expressive technique, inviting viewers into a moment of quiet reflection about our connection to the natural world and the mysteries that surround us. Each brushstroke in this western theme art contributes to the meditative quality of the piece, encouraging you to pause and connect with something deeper within yourself.
"Jackalope Moon" brings the spirit of Texas wilderness into your space while adding a touch of the magical and unexpected – a mixed media conversation starter that transforms any room with its thoughtful presence and rich, dimensional textures. This unique piece of western theme art celebrates the mythical and magical elements of Southwestern folklore.
