Passive Agreement, Tracy Miller

Acrylic on canvas, 24" × 24" (61cm × 61cm)

My painting of a mule deer was based on a photograph I took of a robust, healthy male who was taking a break in our front yard in the shade. My title comes from the fact that I was standing a mere few feet from him while he passively stared at me and let me take photos from several different angles. I got to work in the studio using a layering process that I do with all my paintings. I start with a wash of solid color followed by a visual haiku of black lines. The work starts out as a total abstraction, and then I decide where to place the animal within that framework. From there it’s a process of negative space painting followed by many brushstrokes to build up form, musculature and features unique to the animal. I believe my work captures the spirit and inner essence of the animal subjects I paint through my bold use of color.
