This is one of the biggest bull moose I have ever seen! He waded into a shallow lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. As he foraged for plants on the bottom of the lake he would pick his head up and the water would cascade off his antlers. I captured this image as the last drop fell from his antler. I thought the contrast between the huge moose and that tiny drop was compelling.
This painting is a watercolor wax batik. Watercolor wax batiks utilize alternating applications of wax and paint to create a sense of texture, contrasts of light and dark, and luminous layers of color. Once the waxing and painting process is completed the wax is ironed out and voila' - the painting is finished.
