About
this painting: This small, "mini" painting (6" x 16") was inspired by
the local herd of elk that gather each winter in
the Coast Range of Oregon, not far from where I live. It was
a misty, winter morning and I stopped to watch the elk graze and
move about in the field. I hope to see them again this
winter! |
