The great thing about fishing from a kayak is sliding in on some amazing wildlife. Though I spend lots of time in the Idaho woods, I never seem to get as close to animals as in the boats.
Such was an occasion on the Encampment River in Wyoming last summer with my buddy Bart Lockheart. We were having a great drift, when we floated upon this big guy having some lunch.
It’s always inspiring as an artist to get these experiences. The painting is 7-feet x 4-feet, acrylic and ink on board and doesn’t come close to the size of the animal. It will show in Boise this month and then head to Colorado to be part of the Spur Outfitter’s Lodge. “North Park Moose” is the best I can do to thank Dave Sturm and the whole crew at the Spur for showing me and my friend great times in Wyoming.
