Dakota Bull a pastel painting by Curt Wellman

Inspired by a large buffalo who roamed the North Dakota badlands in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Impressed by this massive beast I was compelled to recreate my impression of the buff animal and prairie hills.

Nature and the wild = The Cervine

I have spent countless hours observing wildlife in the wild. Deer, Elk, Buffalo, Mountain lion, coyote, Fox, etc. Wildlife commonly found in my region. To observe animals in the wild can give you a feeling of being part of nature like nothing else. Of the many hours I’ve studied wildlife in nature, the majority of that time was in observation of deer. Thus, the cervine has come to epitomize nature and the wild in my mind.

 Cervine definition = deerlike, of or pertaining to deer.
