"Zone 2" is in central Minnesota. I did a pretty generic scene with some hardwoods and open water. These may be two of the better deer I've painted. I have a particular look I like my deer to have, my own ideas of what makes a deer's head or 'face' beautiful. You will see a similarity in a lot of my deer paintings. But this was a breakthrough for me in painting bodies. These are strong, yet lean, the way they really are. This painting is another owned by my father-in-law Lary Carlson.
