Highland scene

About this work

This painting shows a moody, misty landscape with a rocky hill in the middle. Below, a deer stands near a small stream, while two other deer lie resting on the ground. The sky is a pale, swirling gray, and the trees look dark and sparse. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The artist used mostly muted grays and browns, with just a hint of green in the distant hills. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more watercolors like this.
