- Lot Description
Gary Sorrels (b. 1964)
Early Winter - Whitetail Deer,
signed "Gary Sorrels" lower left
acrylic on board, 23 by 35in.
The artist describes his painting in a Wild Wings catalog: "Flanked by aspen, these two beautiful creatures, wide eyed and alert, stand majestically on a carpet of soft snow. The white-tail, unknown outside our continent, is truly the aristocrat of American big game."
According to the Webster family, “In an era when most wildlife art prints depicted waterfowl and upland game birds, Gary Sorrels’ deer paintings early on allowed Dad to begin to expand Wild Wings’ print offerings to many other species. (Additionally,) Dad was also fascinated by Gary’s dry brush technique. Different from everyone else. It is one of the first prints from Wild Wings depicting deer.”
Another member of the family recounts, “Even though our dad wasn’t a deer hunter he really liked this painting. It hung in our sun porch while we were growing up."
This painting was reproduced as a color print in a limited edition of 600, a copy of which accompanies the lot.
