This painting captures the quiet moment just before being noticed.
You are standing in a winter forest, watching a deer through the trees. He hasn’t seen you yet. The trunks break the line of sight, allowing you to come a little closer than you should.

This is a feeling I know well from my own encounters with deer in the forest - one of the most beautiful moments nature offers. A fragile pause before eye contact, when everything is still, and you know that once your eyes meet, he will disappear into the trees.
