Autumn Procession - Elk Herd by wildlife artist Carl Brenders

Autumn Procession - Elk by Carl Brenders.

 

 

"Every year, when autumn comes, I get a certain fever. I cannot wait to get to Yellowstone National Park, my favorite place in the U.S. where the elk roam. Elk generally come out when night falls. Only then can the terrifying sound of their bugle be heard.

 

"Most of my paintings show animals close up. This time I felt the challenge to paint a group of animals in a special landscape, typical of Yellowstone. The sulphur from the geysers killed the forest in the background and painted the ground white. The trees will be pulled down by a storm, and the landscape is constantly changing. So I painted the cycle of life that has gone on for millions of years. It is a nice feeling." - Carl Brenders. (from his new book - Pride of Place)
