Among the Timbers Wall Art By Artist Deborah Wilson Stag Hunter Green and Indigo

"Among the Timbers", wall art originally painted in oil, captures a powerful encounter between wildlife and the quiet refuge of the hunter green and indigo forest. At its heart, a stag commands attention, its impressive antlers and fur rendered in layered earth tones of golden browns and subtle ochres. The artist applied textured layers, inviting the viewer to explore the tactile quality of the stag's coat, where light and shadow play across every contour, enhancing the animal’s presence.

Behind the stag, a handcrafted wooden cabin rests quietly within the thick trees. Its weathered shingles and sturdy logs suggest stories held in stillness. The surrounding forest envelops the scene with rich greens and deep blues, applied with expressive, impressionistic strokes that convey the depth and mystery of the woodland. The contrast between the sharp definition of the stag and the softer, almost abstract qualities of the forest reflects a moment of meditative balance between strength and tranquility.

Using oil paint with both palette knives and brushes, the artist created a surface that carries a dynamic tension between smooth and raised textures. This technique emphasizes the physicality of the scene and invites the viewer to slow down and immerse themselves in the layered details of the natural world. Through this piece, the artist sought to encourage a quiet reflection on presence and place, capturing a fleeting yet enduring harmony found among the towering timbers.
