MORNING REST

“MORNING REST” I was out with my camera, which I do quite often, when my hike took me past this incredible bull elk. It was summer and he was laying in the green, lush grass, soaking up the morning sun. He was so comfortable he didn’t even move while I took pictures. When I went back into the studio to do the painting, I decided to paint him in fall colors, rather than in the green grass. I was happy with the decision.

The painting is 36” x 48”, oil on canvas with a gallery wrap.
