I Shot an Elk!

I bet that got your attention. As I have never gone hunting, and don't know that I will, having shot an elk is a big deal! Now in all fairness the shooting I did was with a camera and I did no harm to the elk (however someone else did). My client, Steve Bartholomew does wood carving and had a base for this elk that he needed documented for a brochure. I must say, these critters are BIG! I have seen them in the wild on a number of times but with no reference to say a 3'0" door or an 8' ceiling it is hard to judge their scale. This guy was so massive that we could not even get him into my studio. I ended up shooting him next door at the Academy Real Estate office. Thanks Chuck!

Hope you enjoy these images. See more of what Steve does at his site.

Heaven Scent (not a misspelling) was inspired by the birth of my first grandchild, an allusion to the unique scent of a newborn. Having worked with the non-objective pages of monotypes and collagraphs I discovered this sense of joy.

Segullah

Segullah, a journal designed to encourage literary talent, provoke thought and promote greater understanding and faith among Latter-day Saint women. They publish insightful writings which explore life’s richness and complexity while reflecting faithfulness to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Their aim is to highlight a variety of women’s perspectives within a framework of shared beliefs and values.

I came across this publication from one of my clients. Rebecca Wagstaff sent me the Winter 2009 issue which featured her artwork. Her art was both on the front & back covers in full color as well as six B&W images inside the issue.

Thanks Rebecca for sharing this publication.
