"Western Monarch" - Badlands Landscape, Mule Deer Framed Art Print Wildlife I suspect they were probably

I suspect they were probably juvenile birds who had not paired with a mate yet and were potentially exploring the possibilities of what's out there

It looked like there had been some activity and it had been altered to an unnatural look in my personal opinion so there was a lot of work for me to do to construct something that looked natural to me and represented this spot and all its beauty properly

there's no limits to that and I’m just so grateful for everything that I've experienced and everything that I get to see and that's what I love about painting landscapes and that's what I love about life

a lone giant lays patiently awaiting for nightfall

"Western Monarch" - Badlands Landscape, Mule Deer Framed Art Print Wildlife I suspect they were probably"Western Monarch" Western North Dakota is one of the most incredible places. The scenery is some of the most unique that you'll ever find, history is everywhere, and the wildlife is abundant. Bighorn sheep, elk, bison, pronghorn, and many others roam the vast and rugged countryside. The mule deer however is one of my most favorite animals to roam this land. I took all my best memories and compiled them into this piece I titled "Western Monarch."
