Title: Moose painting on the easel
Post by: DaveHawk on December 29, 2012, 04:40:13 PM
I've been studying up on these beast and got the inspiration to paint one. Can you imagine one of these beast stepping out in front of you. I hope you enjoy this one. I've been wanting to do a moose in memory and in honor of a good friend who passed away this year. His nickname was Moose. So this will mean a lot to his family. Mark bugged me for years to paint a moose. I'm sure he will like it even now.

Moose are MASSIVE...it's one thing to see one from a car or truck window when driving along a road, it's entirely different when they are up close and personal. We're literally talking about an animal that weighs 2000 plus pounds. I enjoy watching them when they are in a bog, or a beaver pond, usually with something green dangling from their mouths. I can tell this is gonna be a good one too.

I've seen a few in the wild. One that walked out to the edge of a bog on a glacier lake we were fishing , he was about 30 yards away and the biggest thing I'd ever seen. He had his head down under water when I 1st saw him and thought it was some old tree trunk untill ....... and he walked over to the edge with this look , LOL
Full Day yesterday from noon till the end of the Skins game. I wish I could paint full time. But for now weekends and evenings.

Thanks Crazell.
This one is moving along much quicker then the others. I have to stop myself and study it as I go. My wife told me not to move so fast that I lose my personal touch. I told her when I lose that I will quit.
