Elk and Deer Rut: Hanford Reach National Monument, 12" X 18"

Exhibit panels 21 and 22 of 24: Elk and deer in rutting season. It was fun playing with watercolor throughout this whole project. I work digitally but at times find I can only get what I "need" with good ole' paint.

I used many of my old photos from when I lived in Wyoming as reference (boy, did that come in handy) - I saw mule deer and elk nearly every day out there.
