It’s Elk season and that means lots of movement in the High Country. Take time to pause at your nearest canyon or Aspen-lined meadow and listen for the bugle of one of the West’s most regal ungulates. -- This collage was inspired by a year of extensive reading and research to educate myself on elk and their migratory habits. The background was hand-painted with acrylic but all other detail of the elk family and foreground flora were rendered in hand-cut paper.
