Echoes of the Forest

Echoes of the Forest is a realistic acrylic painting depicting a bull elk mid-bugle, surrounded by the dense stillness of the forest. The piece captures a powerful yet fleeting moment, where the animal’s call cuts through the quiet, echoing across the landscape.

Through detailed brushwork and a rich, earthy palette, I aimed to highlight the texture of the elk’s fur, the complexity of the antlers, and the dappled light filtering through the trees. This piece is a study in both visual realism and emotional atmosphere, reflecting the raw beauty and untamed energy of the wilderness.
