Majestic Mountain View

By Robert Clark

Majestic Mountain View, the composition changed several times until everything started working, at one time I had a lake in the foreground and decided some large evergreens and an Elk, would be interesting... The mountains started out with just the three peaks in front, but it just looked to plain so I added some peaks behind them. I wanted to create some atmosphere so I added a little fog, kind of makes it look like a bright brisk early morning. The elk was a challenge but fun, on canvas its about the size of a silver dollar. I've had people tell me the area looks like Wyoming or Idaho, and someone said it looks like a lot of places he has been hunting elk.
