In fact, they are the largest member of the deer family!

While this is a portrait of my daughter, Madeline, it is also simply a picture of a vulnerable child at peace in what would normally be a very dangerous situation. Looking at this painting, I have no fear for her safety, though this moose has some fire behind his eyes. She is in complete control, completely relaxed, almost meditating. It comforts me. Life has a way of handing me big scary situations. My preference would be to relax and ride in peace rather than get tense and fight.

This picture also contains definite elements of the beautiful north woods that surround me.

Part of me doubts that anyone would want to buy a picture of Madeline, but then I think of the great masterpieces of art history. The Mona Lisa. Picasso’s Portrait De Femme. Whistler’s Mother. Van Gogh’s portrait of Père Tanguy. Portraits.

This painting is 4′ x 4′, and is acrylic on wood.
