Lacking the luxury of a high tech digital camera, Sir Edwin Landseer resorted to oil on canvas for his portrayal of a Red Deer Stag in his painting 'Monarch of the Glen'.
The location for the painting is believed to be Glen Affric about fifteen miles west of Loch Ness.

I'm never too sure what to make of Landseer.
The subjects of his paintings seem to veer between death and mawkish sentimentality.
I can cope with mawkish sentimentality. Death I'm not so keen on.
