The King of the Forest – JWW 2021 Calendar, “In the Wonder World”

I’ve painted several different deer, but this is only my second moose. My first painting featuring a moose is actually an illustration in the story of Sebastian; you see, Sebastian’s teacher is a moose. 
This moose that I painted for the upcoming calendar is a bit more realistic, but not too realistic, since the calendar is all about Wonder World. That is why I added a little touch of “magic” into his majestic antlers, making them resemble the vegetation around him.

All in all, I’m very pleased with the way this painting turned out; it is just as fresh and green as any illustration for a spring month should be.
