While on the road Sharon and I are always going out in search of interesting landscapes to inspire my work. One of the great joys of looking at landscapes is the chance encounters we have with wildlife. Usually as I am photographing landscapes I have a wide angle lens on the camera, not ideal for photographing wildlife, but I do enjoy photographing animals in the wild. We have had some interesting encounters including moose, elk, bear, bison, deer, pronghorn, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, bald eagles, and even alligators!
Moose in Teton National Park, Wyoming. Notice the baby lying in the grass to the left.
Brazos Bend State Park southwest of Houston provided the inspirational sunset for the
painting "Sunset Reflections," and also some interesting encounters with alligators.
