Moose Painting I

Here’s my first moose painting.  I was originally going for moose silhouette and disjointed jack pine.  The jack pine became a bit less disjointed and more like a normal tree, and I decided to shade the moose.  Hm.  Not sure on it.

Well, we all need practice first.  It was a fun … Continue reading

Freedom for a Day
