Oil on Canvas Panel, 9”x 12”

Several miles deep into the backcountry along the Cement Creek River, the terrain turns wild and rugged. The peaceful soundtrack is broken only by the sound of rushing waters, the piercing call of a Red Tailed hawk, or in this case, the bugling of a bull elk directing a herd across the valley floor.
