Young And Restless

I recently completed a pastel painting titled "Young and Restless," inspired by a powerful encounter in Wyoming during the bison rut. Observing these incredible animals in their natural habitat is always thrilling, as their energy, strength, and vitality become palpably intense during this period. In this piece, I aimed to capture not just the physical presence of this magnificent young bison but also the restless spirit that defines this season in their lives. The vibrant textures and rich hues of pastel allowed me to convey the wild, untamed energy and raw beauty inherent in such a stirring wildlife experience.
