After a week of reading moose books and drawing, I finished my new piece. The inspiration comes from that cartoon we all know and love, “Blackfly” which can be found amongst other fantastic Canadian films at nfb.ca Here is a close-up of the new piece which measures 32″x24″. I used a combination of house paint (acrylic latex), oil washes, and pen. Of course it is for sale.
Here is the cartoon I mentioned.
Blackfly by Christopher Hinton 1991
Some footage of two bull moose sparring.

Pure enjoyment big guy. The cartoon is a gem too.
Watch out for that tune. It’ll get stuck in your head.
beautiful… love the texture and colors.
Thank you for the appreciation Alecia! It does feel very smooth. I wanted to depict an Ontario sunset with these colors.
Love the intricate line art, and your use of color!
Thanks Mit! The base layer was house paint tinted with red oil.
