This piece was inspired by the caribou we saw in Alaska. At the beginning of the rutting season and fall migration, bulls will shed the velvet on their antlers, leaving a blood-stained appearance for a short time.
 
11" x 14" Ink on scratchboard, finished in a black timber frame (56cm high x 47 cm wide) with non-reflective art glass, which minimises glare.
 
The scratchboard panel has been sprayed with several coats of an archival-quality, non-yellowing, U.V resistant satin varnish.
