Artist's notes:
 The
Tule Elk was completed on 10/27/2008. I'd been meaning to
draw an elk for some time, and as I live in the Bay Area
- and get out to Point Reyes when I can - I thought the
subspecies Tule Elk would be appropriate. There a few sights
in the natural world more gorgeous and breathtaking than
a heard of Tule Elk in the mist, high up above on the hills
over the Pacific ocean in Point Reyes National Seashore.
I hope this drawing at least captures a small amount of
that beauty. This drawing is based on a photo by Ivan Tong.

Information about the Tule Elk:
The Elk - also known as the Wapiti - are one of the largest
species of deer in the world. They are also among the largest
mammals in North America. Elk live in forest and forest
edge habitats where they feed on grasses, leaves, bark and
plants. Tule Elk disappeared from much of their original
range, but thanks to reintroduction projects they have now
re-established themselves in some of these areas. There
are four living subspecies of elk in North America, with
two now extinct.
