Description
The Common Muntjac by Amy E. Fraser. This is an expressive small deer portrait in shades of gold, purple, blue and black with golden brown eyes complimented with a forest green textural background.
Muntjacs also known as the Barking Deer or rib-faced deer, are small deer of the genus Muntiacus native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. Muntjacs are thought to have begun appearing 15 to 35 million years ago, with remains found in Miocene deposits in France, Germany and Poland. The present-day species are native to Asia and can be found in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, the Indonesian islands, Taiwan and Southern China. Their habitat includes areas of dense vegetation, rainforests, monsoon forests and they like to be close to a water source. Males have short antlers, which can regrow, but they tend to fight for territory with their "tusks" (downward-pointing canine teeth). The Muntjac bark is similar to the scream of a fox, it is a primal, haunting sound, well suited to a deer with fangs.
Amy E. Fraser’s Oil Pastel Animal Portrait series is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom. Fun, gestural and energetic, these vibrant animals are painted in a stylized realism that is imbued with distinctive character and personality.
