Meet "Donald" the Stag. This original stag painting on mappa has been hand-painted in acrylic paint on a beautiful and unusual piece of wood. The wood (mappa) has bags of character as well as live edging giving it a natural and very rustic feel.
 
This stag painting on mappa wood comes complete with a saw-tooth picture hanger ready to hang on your wall. This hand-painted stag would look beautiful in a kitchen, lounge, bedroom, hallway or conservatory and would make a lovely, unique wooden gift for a British wildlife lover.
 
I paint British wildlife on wood rather than canvas as I love using wood as a natural and sustainable background to my artwork. Much of the wood that I work with is reclaimed and therefore has some beautiful markings and character that deserve to be preserved and celebrated for years to come. This is a one-off piece of British wildlife art and having been coated in a flat matt varnish for protection, it should stand the test of time and can be treasured for a life-time.
