My latest deer painting.   I love happening onto one or more doe just as the morning sun is reaching the meadows on the mountain.  They have a delicate, cautious way of stepping as they move through the tall grasses, drawn to finding out who you are they step closer and closer, curiosity trumping fear.  I'm glad to know I don't resemble a predator.  I've also learned that if you hold completely still they will approach.  I move only when their attention is elsewhere.  In this way I have been able to get quite close to them!  The click of the camera doesn't seem to bother them as they perceive no movement.
