The Hanging Deer reminds me of when I was young. My father was a hunter and venison was part of our diet. Especially the venison stew feast with my family of six eating at the dinner table. There are layers of paint and mixed emotions here. I’m also reminded of the cold butcher shop with meat hanging and butchers in their white coats. It all seemed so normal. Today I think of how little I know about where my food comes from and how it is processed. I miss those simpler times of the bakery, milkman, farmer, and the butcher.
