Western Wildlife, Landscape , Fine Art Print, "Elk Calf Study" by Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

This is a small study painted prior to a larger piece. I photographed this elk calf up in Yellowstone on the Madison River. This calf and 4 others were sunning themselves on a small island in the river, while only one cow grazed on the opposite bank. A few miles up the road, Grady and I saw a large herd of cows. I theorized that one cow stayed back to watch over the sleeping calves while the rest of the herd moved to a meadow with better grazing opportunity.

"Lafayette Reservoir" Landscape Painting by Brooke Crosthwaite

Lafayette Reservoir

Oil on Canvas panel

8"x10"

$160.00

This painting was done on location at Lafayette Reservoir in Lafayette, California in 2012. I loved the different elevations of hills in this landscape. As I was painting the landscape transformed from foggy and grey to sunny and vibrant. I tried to translate that into this painting by using both color palettes, vibrant light in the foreground and blue hues for the background. I find that plein air painting best captures the transformation of landscapes and true colors of nature. Something that a photograph will not capture.

"Monterey Coastline" Landscape Painting by Brooke Crosthwaite

Monterey Coastline

Oil on Canvas panel

8"x10"

$160.00

This was inspired by a photo I took in Monterey, California in 2012. I wanted to capture the warm sand and growing cloud formations. It's my goal to see and paint as many California landscapes as possible. I love how diverse each area of California can be. From the beautiful coastlines to the Rocky Mountains, I want to display it all in my work.
