Wildlife Art in Oils, 'Elk'

Ahhh, I am back to painting and it feels SO good! Its only been a few days but I really miss it when I don't paint.

I completed the elk painting that I was working on before Christmas. This wildlife painting in oils was given as a gift and then brought back so I could do some final touches. It was cutting things too close for it to be completed and dried I didn't want to take a chance and rush thru and risk smeared paint.

On my easle I also have a portrait of my daughter when she was about 5. I will be working on it some more today and post WIP pics tomorrow of her. I am thinking this will be entered into a art contest/exhibit/fundraiser for a domestic voilence organization in the area. I hope I can part with it. I know it is a good cause and their is a personal story that goes along with the image that I will tell when I finish the painting.
