Hours of delicate layering have created a masterpiece that took months to finish. The artist, at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego, CA., photographed this pair of SIKA DEER. Jil creates a true likeness that captures the essence and spirit of the deer. "The eyes are rendered so real that it feels like you can see into the animals soul". The playful behavior of the deer was respectfully captured and rendered to create a sense of joy. Artist signed toner based laser print does not fade in UV light. The paper is a high quality neutral pH, 94 bright, 28LB. These prints can be put directly into a frame or mounted. I personally have a laser print and the color is the same after 10 years!
The Dybowski’s Sika Deer (Cervus Nippon) is a medium sized stocky species that heads a pair of antlers with as many as eight tines on each beam. They became established in numerous European forests and also live in Madagascar and New Zealand. They are faced with extinction despite their worldwide range. They mate in the cold season, giving birth to only one young. Gestation lasts 217 days. Sika deer form into medium sized groups and their lifespan is unknown. The printed image size is: 16 1/4" x 8 3/4" and is printed on an 11" x 17" pH neutral, 28LB, 94 bright high quality paper. Artist signed at no extra charge!
