18 Deer Fantasy

’18 Deer Fantasy’ was completed in 2015 in oils on canvas. It is a direct influence and tribute to the works of the German Expressionist painter, Franz Marc who sadly was prematurely killed in the first world war. Marc originally created a deer / woodland inspired semi abstract work on which Ian based and developed this painting.

150 signed and authenticated limited edition prints of the work were originally released for purchase, some of which are still available at £180 directly from Somerville Arts or selected art retailers.

The original painting is now privately owned.

Ian Middleton’s studio can be found at Wharfe Brow, Manor Park, Burley in Wharfedale, West Yorkshire LS29 7HJ
