“The Stag” Upcycled Vintage Art painted by Heather Castles 51 x 41 cm (20 x 16 inch) vintage canvas 64 x 54 cm (25.25 x 21.25 inch) vintage frame
This blue landscape immediately made me think of Harry Potter conjuring his first stag patronus in the Forbidden Forest. I loved that moment when he suddenly realized he had the power within him to conjure magical creature. It was touching that he chose a stag like his father... in a way it was chosen for Harry, having seen himself conjure it while travelling with the time-turner. So with that story in mind, I enjoyed adding this patronus stag to this vintage painting... perhaps he is waiting of the next time Harry calls him.
The original vintage painting by W. Jones was collected locally. It was very dirty, covered with mysterious spatters, and has been stained yellow likely from nicotine. The frame was a bit brown and dingy, so I repainted the trim to freshen it up a bit.
