Autumn Forest Deer. Limited Edition Art Print by Yorkshire artist Janine Jacques
This is a fine art print taken from my original felt landscape Autumn Forest Deer, professionally scanned and reproduced as a high quality giclée print.
We walked from home to Hazelwood Castle, one of our favourite local walks.
The path takes us through beautiful woodland where tall trees form a glowing autumn canopy. The forest floor is carpeted with fallen leaves in rich shades of red, orange, and gold. Soft rays of sunlight filter through the branches, casting long dappled shadows across the ground.
Ahead of us, a deer stood quietly among the autumn colours, so still she almost disappeared into the landscape. If she didn’t move, perhaps she hoped we wouldn’t notice her.
That day we saw several deer moving lightly through the trees, an extraordinary and fleeting moment that always feels special.
I wrote a short poem to reflect the scene (with a little poetic licence, as the dog wasn’t actually there):
Little autumn deer
Has lots to fear.
A dog roaming free…
Quick, hide behind a tree!
The deer has been seen,
Keeping her demeanour serene.
The deer has been smelt,
And now she must quickly pelt.
Through woodland she is quick,
Through forest branches, dense and thick.
Safe once more beneath the trees,
Hidden amongst the autumn leaves.
This limited edition giclée fine art print is professionally reproduced from my original felt artwork.
Customers often comment on the exceptional quality of my prints, saying they look even better in person than they expected.
What is a giclée print?
Pronounced “zhee-clay”, giclée is the French word meaning “to spray”. It describes a museum-quality fine art printing process that uses archival pigmented inks to produce exceptional detail, rich colours, and prints designed to last for many years.

Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I use wool in lots of different colours (as you would tubes of paint) and lay out the loose fibres of different coloured wool onto my base (as you would paint on canvas).
Once finished the next stage is to make these loose fibres of wool stick together using the ‘wet felting’ technique to make the wool painting into a piece of felt. You do this by adding hot soapy water and friction. The hot water opens up the wools scales and the friction (rubbing/rolling) binds them together. During this process the wool shrinks by about 15-20% and you end up with one piece of felt material.
Once the felted picture is dry I needle felt into the piece to sharpen some of the details.
