Wraparound Elk etc.

A gallery owner suggested that I do a triple painting, (I think it's called a triptich), on wrapround canvases. I've never done a triptich, nor used a wraparound canvas. I'm not sold on either thing, (too gimmicky for my curnudgeonny tastes).
She also sent me a few landscape photos that her nephew had taken in Northern Arizona, and asked if I could use them to come up with a composition. Only one of the photos really inspired me, and I felt that adding some Elk would complete the scene. Each canvas is 10x10". The advantage of wraparound canvases is that the artist paints the sides as well as the front of the canvas, and the completed painting does not need to be framed.

Canvas one, left hand side..

Canvas two, middle.

Canvas three, far right. This is certainly not my best work. If it sells fast enough, I may do more wraparound canvases.

Before dinner I took a stroll into the field next door. I'm glad that others have blazed a trail through the deep snow.

The human trail soon intersected with another trail. A suspicious dark spot in one of the tracks gave a clue as to who made the tracks.

I've never photographed Moose poop before.

Next, I found some different tracks, from a snowmobile. They are called snow machines in Alaska.

The smoke in the distance is actually exhaust steam from the powerplant that produces Anchorage's electricity from natural gas.

As it started to get dark I headed home to fix tostadas for dinner.
