Bull of the Woods by wildlife artist John Banovich available from Snow Goose Gallery.

 

 "As with many of my works, often the background is kept to a minimum, placing the entire focus on the character of the chosen subject. A bull moose is North America`s largest ungulate with a mature bull weighing nearly 1800 pounds.

 
Quite a formidable presence when displaying during the rut (September) and protecting his harem from intruders. Virtually afraid of nothing, they can move with lightening speed when charging, which I learned first hand on several occasions! To emphasize the massive size, I arranged him so that the canvas appears to be unable to contain his huge antlers – as if he is peering through the window at you!" - John Banovich.
