The Story: Seasons of the Stag

Wil was approached by friend Steve Schulman about a series of drawings he had long envisioned. Steve had approached other artists, but was never able to realize his vision. So Wil and Steve collaborated through a series of sketches, which eventually became the four paintings. The Stag is represented by a regal North American species whose antlers become tree branches, a surreal element that ties into Wil’s Climate Conversation series of tree drawings. In the original work, the stag itself is graphite, and seasonal accents are in watercolor. For the Winter print, the Stag is wreathed in holly, with icicles hanging from the branches. Over the next year, Wil will release a Stag print each season.

 

Seasons of the Stag released at The Sautee Inn

The first print, Winter Stag, will be unveiled at the December 3rd (10 AM to 3 PM) Christmas Tour at the Historic Sautee Inn in the northeast Georgia mountains near Helen, Ga. The Holiday Tour, the Sautee Inn and the artist are supporting Friends of the Public Library.

The Sautee Inn is a restored, historic bed and breakfast that features eight comfortable rooms adorned with antique furnishings alongside modern comforts. Guests enjoy a gourmet, country-style breakfast prepared by accomplished chefs daily and top off the evening with decadent desserts.

The Inn features Wil Bosbyshell’s drawings and paintings. Maura Bosbyshell’s custom textiles adorn several rooms and common areas.

Climate Conversation Tree Number 21 - Its BIG!

This is the 21st drawing in my Climate Conversation tree series and it is very large. It is six by three feet in size on paper. I began this drawing by going into the woods near Penland and finding this very scared tree. I rolled the paper into thirds and rubbed different parts of the tree. Then I came back into my studio and used the marks provided by the tree to add details and contrast. 

So it is representational of a real tree, but the interior marks become very abstract. 

Midnight Sun Silk Screens!

Alaskan Sun I began a series of silk screens and paintings of the Alaskan Midnight Sun at Arrowmont this summer. In the arctic summer, the sun rotates in the sky coming close to the horizon, but never actually setting.

The Mindsight Sun print at the top of this post is currently in an exhibit in Chicago’s Bridgeport Arts Center near the White Sox stadium. I layered three different screens. This piece and three others from the series sold before the exhibit in Chicago even began. Many more are available.

These silk screens are 10 x 10 inches. 

Stag Calendar of the Four Seasons in Progress

This is a series of images of a commissioned calendar of a stag during the four seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. It is a combination of graphite drawing and watercolor paint. Above is the beginning of the Winter Stag. This series of drawings is a great take off of my current climate conversations tree drawings, yet with a surreal touch. The antlers become tree branches or limbs. 

Winter with icicles added. 

Color added to the wreath.
