"Autumn Showdown" is my major elk painting for 2025, portraying a massive 6x6 bull elk as he steps into a potential battleground with another bull guarding his cows in the valley below.

This piece captures both the majesty of the season and the raw tension of the rut, with bold contrasts of light and shadow heightening the drama. From the golden aspens glowing on the ridge to the frosty breath of the bugling bull, every detail was carefully crafted to bring this magical autumn moment to life.
