Norman and Susan Goeschl commissioned Ron Marlett to paint a large painting of Ohio's wildlife. Norman provided Ron with photographs that he took while camping with his family. Ron used the pictures to create a landscape where he could display some of Ohio's wildlife with the deer being the center of interest as well as a focal point for the composition. In this picture, Ron is mixing his paints with linseed oil to begin the detailing of his subject matter. When the oil paints are mixed with linseed oil, the paints are thinner and become easier to render small details such as the animals' hair and tree leaves.
