$2,000–$15,000. Snow and night scenes tend to command premium prices for this artist. Key value factors: As a living artist continuing the shin-hanga tradition, Binnie's prints are investment-quality. Limited editions and larger formats are most valued.
"Deer in the Snow" (Yuki ni Shika) places the animals of Nara — the sacred deer that have wandered freely through the park for centuries — in a winter landscape of fallen snow. Binnie's treatment of the snow scene employs [bokashi](/glossary/bokashi) gradation to suggest the blue-white atmosphere of a cold, still day, with the deer's warm brown forms providing contrast against the white ground. The sacred deer of Nara are among the most beloved subjects in Japanese landscape art, and Binnie's print engages with this deep tradition.
