This piece of art was on exhibit at the Crossroads Carnegie in Baker, Oregon, March 5 - 28th, 2026.
Moose loose their antlers during winter or late spring and then begin regrowing them even bigger. Spring Moose Study captures this quiet moment of renewal, when winter has finally loosened its grip and the forest begins to awaken. There is a sense of stillness in the air—a reminder that nature's transitions are often subtle, unfolding one day at a time.
As I painted this piece, I focused on the warm reflections of light across the moose's coat, using expressive color to reveal its strength and gentle presence rather than simply its form. The dark woodland backdrop contrasts with the emerging light, symbolizing the passage from the quiet dormancy of winter into the promise of spring, that time of year when moose begin growing their annual set of antlers.
NOTE: This painting comes unframed, but wired to hang, on a 2" deep canvas.
