ART AND LIFE PASSIONS

This painting was drawn at a time in my life when I was going through some major changes. It was a difficult time. Looking at it now I realize that it reflects how I felt at that time.
I like it though and it was the beginning of new designs, new creativity and new strengths.
The elk, named by the white settlers, really resembles its European relative the moose. Its real native name is wapiti.

The wapiti symbolizes strength and nobility.

I find it intriguing that at that point in my life my drawing was of an animal that possesses the qualities I needed most at that time.
