"Autumn Rut"

 18" x 24" Original Fluid Art on canvas.  The palette knife work demonstrates the cohesiveness that can be achieved with mixing fluid art methods and textured painting styles.  A champion of the forest, this young bull is ready to challenge another to a showdown during the fall rut.   Deep rich earth tones, metallic 24k gold, bronze, and copper are a beautiful backlight to the white birch trees, and textured jewel tones of autumn foliage.
