There is now a girl in the painting! The other deer in this piece need to be there without obviously being there. I still want the main focus to be on the buck, because he deserves it.

Composition is crucial in this piece so that I can keep that focus where it needs to be.

There are a couple of things going on in this piece that I am not entirely happy with, but life isn't necessarily about being happy all the time, right? So I will keep working on it until I am satisfied. This painting is taking longer than most but the end result will be worth it.
