Deer Head Sculpture Painting

These are 2 paintings from my A-Levels depicting a decaying deer head. The top painting was just an idea of how I want to situate the head and how I wanted the background to look. The skull itself is also a sculpture I made out of air-dry clay, to be used for these paintings. The bottom painting was my final piece made for my art A-Level. Can't say it's anything amazing as I would have liked to have spend more time on the background, but I couldn't do anything more within the time limit.
