Stag's Ghost by Ralph Bacon is a thoughtful still life inspired by the artist's lifelong fascination with nature, fossils, and found objects. The centerpiece—a deer skull discovered in the woods near his home and naturally weathered with lichen and time—is paired with antique objects that each hold their own quiet story. Created in acrylic using layered techniques over a charcoal sketch and underpainting, the work reflects Ralphs experience in plein air painting, murals, and stage set design. More than a study of objects, Stags Ghost is a meditation on the fleeting nature of life, encouraging viewers to appreciate the beauty found in both nature and history while remembering to make the most of our own journey.
