figures from above 35x37” here’s how it looked at the end of my short painting day today. BELOW: day 2 & today’s version
2:56 PM: i had a meeting from 10 to 12:30 today, so i couldn’t get to work untill a few hours ago. when i arrived at the studio, i spotted a large deer with big horns and a wound on his side. the same buck was seen about a week ago by someone doing work on our house. he called me out back to see him but he had moved on. joe, the guy who saw him, said he had an arrow sticking out of his side and was limping. i called colorado parks & wildlife to report seeing him, since we discovered they already knew about him and were trying to find him. they didn’t pick up, so i left a message.
looks like he survived for at least a week, but needs either to be put down or cared for and healed. i called CPW again after seeing him, but once again they didn’t pick up and i had to leave a message. i was able to grap my phone and take a quick, blurry shot.
