About the work

This is my very first painted caribou, and certainly not my last! I particularly enjoyed working on the dense white dewlap of this light-struck male's chest and the complexity of his antlers. His autumnal coat makes him look like a king. My backgrounds are generally sober, but I've indulged in fiery colors to suggest the beauty of the taiga at its peak. This hostile territory, generally covered in snow, produces the most beautiful flowers in summer and literally bursts into flames in autumn, becoming one of the most colorful landscapes in the world.

Here's my first painted caribou and certainly not the last! I particulary liked working with the dewlap of dense white hair of this male struck by the ligth in the chest and the complexity of his antlers. Its automnaI dress gives it the allure of a king. I generally use dark backgrounds but i indulged in fiery colors to suggest the beauty of the taiga at its peak. This hostile territory generally covered with snow, lets the most beautiful flowers grow in summer and litteraly blazes up in automn, becoming one of the most colorful landscapes in the world.
