This Celtic region of my Scottish ancestry inspired my Noble Stag painting. Originally, I had the idea of incorporating a lot more Celtic design with greens, but trusting my intuition as I went along produced a stunning male deer, looking at you with his deep golden eyes as the full moon rises above him on a clear starry night as his backdrop. I used watercolors on a canvas board, and purchased some Daniel Smith metallics for the gold, silver and pearlescent white for the stars specifically for this piece.

Noble Stag
Recently, I discovered that I have ancestry from Scotland of the Campbell clan. The particular relative was from the Highlands and resided in a castle! He was a knight and lived in the Auchenbreck Castle off the western part of Scotland.
