Moose in Sprague Lake

"Moose in Sprague Lake"
oil on linen panel
16x20
$175

On a recent trip to Estes Park, Colorado, we went for a short hike around Sprague Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park.  There was a moose in the middle of the lake who posed for photos for quite awhile.  You can see how shallow this lake is; it was a perfect depth for him to wade in and feed on the vegetation.  We were told by someone from the area that moose are very seldom seen in the Park.

Play of Light

"Play of Light"

The reference I used for this painting was a photo taken early one morning of Gondola Lake in Medicine Park, Oklahoma.  The trees in the background were lit up with the light and the geese in the foreground were posing very nicely.

A Good Morning

When hiking with my family in Colorado last summer, I took a photo of this fisherman fishing at one of the gorgeous lakes we hiked to.  It was a long and strenous hike to this lake but well worth the climb.  It was a glorious morning and I'm glad to have this painting to remember it by!
