Fall Aspens 7" x 5" acrylic $265








A group of aspens flaunt their brilliant fall foliage on a warm autumn day. Aspens are my favorite tree because of the sound they make when they quake in the wind. It soothes the soul.

Bugling Bull 5" x 5" acrylic

SOLD
I just got home from my second trip of the year to Yellowstone in which I focused on getting reference for doing some elk paintings. Of course, I saw much more to go along with the elk. This particular bull elk was the largest that I have ever seen in person. The rut was in full swing and the bulls were bugling and protecting their harems on the cool mornings that were dropping to just below freezing. There were also a couple of times that I found myself in precarious situations as their behavior gets to be unpredictable during this time of year, but it was worth it.

Lamar Evening 15" x 26" acrylic

SOLD
The Lamar Valley in Yellowstone is a special place. It is not uncommon to see elk, deer, pronghorn, bison, grizzly bear and wolf - all at the same time! In fact, the valley seems like it is a slice of the way things used to be. This past August, I was able to to take my kids through the Lamar Valley and they too were amazed. This painting is from that trip and on that evening several different flocks of Canada geese were flying over the Lamar River. In the painting, a herd of bison grazes in the background as the last rays of light filter into the valley adding to the aura that is the Lamar Valley at sunset.
