Sixes are all about commitment and security. They are responsible, hardworking, reliable and trustworthy. They are trouble-shooters, they ensure cooperation and foresee problems before they occur. However, at their worst they can become anxious, defensive, cautious and indecisive. They can have issues as well with self-doubt. As their main desire is to have security and support they are very loyal to the people around them and they champion not only themselves but others as well.
In spirituality and some religions, deer represent and are symbolic to the idea of loyalty and compassion. The idea of the circle behind was also this idea of security and reliability as a circle never ends.
This was one of my favourite paintings, and I took a very different approach, I was worried about the all looking the same, but at the same time them not being cohesive, and this piece was the one I painting in the middle, and wanted to incorporate elements of other but make it even more so unique. I like the balance of the graphic elements are the softer, more natural and textural elements. The hair has the balance between the detailed hair I had been create and the stark graphic flat coloured hair.
I love the simplicity of the pattern and ties in the pattern from Two and the inverted nature ties into Eight.
I love this painting and the colour yellow tinting the black giving it this warm slightly sepia tone, is beautiful and a colour mix I would definitely use in the future.
The only thing I can think about improving this painting is working on the shape and the edges of the hair as they seem a bit haphazard and messy in places.
