Deer and Bird Three
Original mixed media painting on wood panel, 12 x 16 inches
 
This captivating piece completes Mandi Murphy's "Deer and Bird" series with a dreamlike composition featuring a spotted white deer amid a lush, abstracted landscape. The deer stands gracefully in the middle ground, its delicate form rendered with careful detail that contrasts beautifully with the expressive background - a hallmark of abstract realism in contemporary western theme art.
 
Rich chartreuse yellows dominate the upper portion of the canvas, transitioning to deep teals and greens in the lower half. A dramatic purple-burgundy floral form anchors the bottom left corner, while subtle black bird silhouettes can be spotted within the composition. Bold red accents create focal points throughout the piece, drawing the eye across the textured surface.
 
Murphy's distinctive mixed media approach is on full display in this 12 x 16 inch work. She begins with loose, intuitive layers of paint that establish the atmospheric quality of the scene, then gradually brings focus to the central elements through her characteristic blend of drawing and painting techniques. The final oil painting layer adds a luminous quality to the whole, creating depth that only oils can achieve.
This painting perfectly embodies Murphy's artistic philosophy of exploring connections between living beings and their environments. The deer appears to simultaneously stand within the landscape while also becoming part of it—a visual meditation on our relationship with the natural world that defines her western theme art.
 
"Deer and Bird Three" makes a striking statement piece on its own or as the culminating work in the complete trilogy. This oil painting for sale brings thoughtful, vibrant mixed media artwork into your space to create a moment of daily reflection and connection with the natural world.
