The Story: Seasons of the Stag

For Summer, the Stag is wreathed in Day Lilies in full bloom! A profusion of summer leaves fill the antler / branches with color. 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. Over the next year, Wil will release a Stag print each season.

Seasons of the Stag released at The Sautee Inn

The third print, Summer Stag, will be unveiled on July 29th at the Historic Sautee Inn in the northeast Georgia mountains near Helen, Ga.

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.

Hiking Sketch Book Part 3

Spent last weekend at Elkin Trail days. I added to my hiking sketch book for this year. I use several mediums in my sketch book: graphite, color pencil and watercolor. I hike along the MST, Mountain to Sea Trail, the Blue Ridge Parkway and other trails. Many of these are from the MST section beginning at Grassy Creek Wintery to Carter Falls north of Elkin NC.

Climate Conversation Banners

These banners are a combination of art and memories. The art is from Wil and Maura Bosbyshell. Maura provides her fiber art. Wil contributes his Tree drawings. The quotes are memories gathered at past installations of the Climate Conversations: Memory Tree exhibit. Some of the memories are sad, others moving and some are just fun.
