Long Shadows
oil on canvas mounted on panel, 12 x 16

 
  Every now and then I get the itch to do a small and simple painting that celebrates the beauty of an animal without complex garnish. This piece is just such an image - the Yellowstone bull elk was walking into a patch of shadow late in the day, and the contrast of cool shadows and warm light is so much fun that I can never resist. I'm pleased with the result.
