Juried works and an award winning episode of the Museum's Bisoncast Video series "Above the Clouds" brought the alpine to museum visitors.

It is a humbling experience that my painting was hung in a museum featuring work by prominent artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Andy Warhol, Robert Kuhn, John James Audubon, August Rodin, Robert Bateman, Antoine-Louis Barye, Albert Bierstadt, Rosa Bonheur George Catlin, William Merritt Chase, John Clymer, Edward Hicks, Alfred Jacob Miller, Charles M. Russell and Carl Rungius.
Built into a hillside overlooking the National Elk Refuge, the Museum received the designation "National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States" by order of Congress in 2008.
The National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States, founded in 1987, is a Jackson Hole museum holding more than 5,000 artworks by more than 550 artists representing wild animals around the world. The Museum's unsurpassed permanent collection chronicles much of the history of wildlife in art, from 2500 B.C.E. to the present. The museum welcomes 65,000 visitors a year from around the globe.
"Little Big Horn" was inspired by the title of the show "Above the Clouds: Art of the Alpine." Oil was chosen as the thick medium to arouse the full range of emotions of the Alpine . . . deep, dramatic, and powerful. The blue and gray tones help the viewer feel the cold, wind-blown alpine biome above the tree line.
The subject was chosen as Colorado is my native state and the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep is the state mammal. This painting is meant to transport the viewer into the rare world above the clouds.
The original oil painting is 30"H x 24"W x 1.5"D on gallery wrap canvas and can be purchased at this site.
A copy of this painting is available now as a Giclee, signed and numbered. There is a limited edition of 50. Your Giclee is shipped free of charge to you (in the U.S. only).

Special thanks to the National Museum of Wildlife Art Education Department, Curatorial Department, and Volunteer Juror Committee for selecting my painting.
