original watercolor aceo 3.5 x 2.5 c0/2011
Ever wish that you could touch a wild animal. I don’t mean one in captivity, but a really wild one. It’s next to impossible because you need the consent of the wild thing. They have fear just like we do. I was visiting Fire Island off Long Island and I touched a wild deer that walked up to me. Now I don’t know if this really counts because those deer are protected on the island and have learned not to fear humans. It was still a rush for me.

I love this painting and this thought. I hope you’ll come across an animal that isn’t afraid or curious enough to come so close with the same intention as yours.
Wouldn’t that be magical.

You are very lucky! That would be a very powerful experience.
Yes, Linda…I too felt lucky. ♥ gretchen
