Title - “Secret”
A banana slug watches a newborn fawn open its eyes under the shadow of a nurse log. These hidden life cycles support the beauty of the forests we see around us. Read about the other paintings in the Forest Floor series here.
Original painting is acrylic on canvas with gold leaf, 16” x 20" (Choose from 3 photo print sizes or 3 canvas print sizes). This print does not have any metallic details.
Photo prints are printed in a professional lab on matte finish photo paper, suitable for framing.
Canvas prints are professionally printed on high quality stretched canvas and wrapped around 1.5" wooden stretcher bars. They have hanging hardware attached and matching finished edges, and are ready to hang without a frame. The look is very similar to an original painting on canvas. See photos for examples of canvas prints.

White tailed Deer
These large, herbivorous mammals have adapted to a wide range of habitats in north America. Females give birth to one to three spotted young in late spring. Newborn fawns have spots when they are very young to camouflage them in the vegetation while their mothers are out foraging.
Banana slug
Banana slugs are important detrivores, or decomposers of the forest floor. They can be many shades of brown, yellow, green or even spotted, to blend in with the leaf litter. Banana slugs live 1-7 years and are common in coastal forests from California to Alaska.
Red Huckleberry
This evergreen shrub has small delicate rounded leaves, and produces bright red berries which are eaten by many forest species in the summer and fall.
Deer fern
This low-growing fern is native to the Pacific Northwest, and is an important winter foraging food for the deer of the coastal areas.
Bracken Fern
The bracken fern, Pteridium aquilinum, is one of the oldest plants in the fossil record, and its intricate fronds can grow to 16 feet high. This fern is beautiful and fast spreading, though toxic to humans and animals. It can reproduce via airborne spores or underground rhizomes.
Western Redcedar
This large evergreen tree has huge cultural and ecological importance in the Pacific Northwest. It has distinctive overlapping scale-like needles and soft bark in vertical strips. These trees grow in moist, shaded areas and can live for thousands of years.
