Autumn Clash

Autumn Clash is an original acrylic painting depicting two fallow deer displaying strength during the autumn season. The scene is rendered in tones of yellow, orange, umber, bark brown, with subtle hints of green and red. The deer are shown in a moment of tension and movement, reflecting the physical presence of the rut.

The painting is inspired by autumn in Phoenix Park, where the sound of clashing antlers and the bellowing of stags are a familiar part of the season. In the background, brent geese fly high above, a common sight in the park during autumn.

Painted in 2025, the work includes textured modelling paste and subtle gold detailing on the canvas.
