BEFORE THE NORFOLK GRASS STIRRED – A Young Roe Buck

In this delicately rendered graphite study, a young roe buck stands poised at the edge of awakening countryside. A moment suspended in stillness, where the soft Norfolk light merges with the quiet forms of reed and meadow.
The composition draws the viewer into an intimate encounter: the buck’s alert gaze, the fine texture of its coat, and the gentle fade of the landscape suggest both vulnerability and quiet confidence. Subtle tonal layering evokes the hush of early morning—a world holding its breath before the first stir of movement across the grass.
This piece reflects a deep connection to the Norfolk landscape and its wildlife, portraying not just a creature, but a fleeting, contemplative pause in nature’s rhythm.
