Rocky Mountain Rest captures a quiet moment in the mountains, with a bull elk settled into the grasses while a hawk passes overhead. Layers of ink, washes, expressive marks, and earthy color create an atmospheric Rocky Mountain landscape that feels somewhere between observation and memory.

Look a little closer and you’ll find several loosely sketched elk hidden within the landscape, almost like echoes of the herd moving through the mountains behind him. The combination of detailed wildlife and abstract, layered surroundings gives the piece a sense of both stillness and movement—a brief moment of rest in a landscape that is always changing.
