Valley Elk

This is another painting entry for the Elk Foundation.  It is of a handsome bull elk.  I am so taking by the beauty of the wild and majestic elk.  My studio has a variety of paintings of wild creatures at the moment.  It is like my own private world in nature. Painting wildlife has made for, "A
Painting Day".

Elk

This is a busy time of year for most artists.  We are entering shows and painting for coming shows and submitting portfolios to galleries in hopes of winning the favor of a judge or gallery owner.  The painting today is of an elk for the Elk Foundation.  With each new animal I paint there is a learning curve.  The nuance of the facial features is so different with each animal and the Elk was a mighty big boy to paint.  Please enjoy "A Painting Day".

Baby Elk

Babies, no matter the species, are pretty much all adorable. This painting, Baby Elk, is a heavy dose of sweetness. He caught my eye. He looks to be a puff of fluff with big brown eyes. Seeing the baby elk in the wilds, made for, "A Painting Day".
