'Deer study' (Spotted Deer)

I used to painstakingly draw my subject before starting to paint, but over the last couple of years I've developed the capacity to just start with a large paintbrush & some sepia & white. I 'sketch' the subject in to varying degrees before applying color. This time I took the sketch to a highly finished state, and as I was about to start coloring, I decided to stop. I felt there was nothing significant to be gained by adding the fairly muted colors, the picture already said what I wanted it to say.
