Artist Reference Photos: Spotted Deer

In Lyon, France, there's a hospital that has over a dozen spotted deer in an enclosure in one of its park as sort of therapy animals for the patients. Unlike deer in the wild, they're very used to people, and come up very close when you approach.

I was able to capture lots of photos of these deer as they foraged around and greeted one another. There's a variety of poses captured which will make ideal subjects for drawing, painting, or other designs.
