K. Paulette created this contemporary wildlife art in July 2016 using acrylic on stretched canvas.  The original Elk Majestic painting was hanging in downtown Banner Elk, NC before it sold.  The Elk is a member of the deer family, Cervidae, and is called a wapiti.  Some of the subspecies of Cervus canadensis are Roosevelt elk, Rocky Mountain elk, Tule, Manitoban, and Eastern elk.

Paulette explains his process for this original elk painting, “I started with transparent Creek Washes using a brush, then thick texture using the extra large palette knife, then opaque brushstrokes on top of that.”
