Velvet Longing

Original Art by Matthew Spencer

In a moment of solitude among the reeds and budding willows, this stag thinks fondly of his beau.

–

Inspired by the slow transition from winter to spring, by anachronistic symbols of historically unconventional affections and by the overwhelming desire to paint a fancy hood after getting sucked into Kingdom Come Deliverance II.

Painted in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil on 140lb Arches hot press paper. Accented with genuine gold leaf.
Framed in an arched frame, painted by the artist.

About the Artist

Matthew Spencer

Matthew Spencer is a queer illustrator from southeast Michigan. He works primarily in ink, watercolor and gouache (often embellished with metal leaf), creating pieces inspired by folklore, history, and nature. Outside of his freelance work, he has been slowly but surely been illustrating his own tarot deck. The Courtly Beasts Tarot- along with a good deal of Matthew’s other personal work- depicts a fantastical world populated by anthropomorphic animals in elaborate costume, set within lush environments both botanical and architectural.
