Winter's Commute

12x36 oil painting of a herd of elk during the winter migration on a wood panel.

I was heading back into town after leaving Grand Teton National Park and I saw a huge herd of elk walking through the trees. It was mid December so large groups of elk were migrating to the National Elk Refuge in Jackson. I spent a few minutes with the group as they slowly walked through the snow, grazing as they went on any food they saw sticking out above the snow.
