I was able to work on a new piece today. It isn't very big, 8"X14", but it turned out quite nicely.

The original drawing was for an 8X24 piece with two other bull elk, but it just wasn't working out the way I wanted it to. I almost threw the whole thing in the garbage can! After taking a closer look at this particular Elk I decided I could make it work. It came together very well and everything clicked.

I now have to decide how to implement my trademark bird subject into this piece and it will be done.
