About the Artwork
The Yearling is part of artist Liza vonRosenstiel’s series of paintings titled “Ranch Work.” The series began while the artist taught at Deep Springs College, located in the high desert of California. Deep Springs functions as both a college and a cattle ranch. The series utilizes found objects, painted with animal icons. She notes that this piece was inspired by the “quiet watchfulness” of a deer she encountered while traveling in Washington State.
