Elk art is a form of wildlife picture that shows the majesty and romanticism of elk. These nature images are often used in both households and professional venues, such as hunting lodges, as well as other areas where wildlife pictures are frequently on display.
Like many wildlife pictures, elk art is often depicted realistically. These works can either show the elk as the sole subject of the painting or inhabiting its natural habitat. Works such as 'Elk' by Anne Jenkins are archetypical of this kind of artwork.
Many examples of animal photography also depict elk. These nature images are generally striking in execution and exemplify the majestic qualities that have become associated with this breed of wild animal. Black and white photographs like 'American Elk' by Neil Gower, in particular, are popular among collectors of elk photography.
Elk art is a unique way to connect with the wildness and freedom of nature. These nature images explore a wide variety of expressions and behaviors among elk, even to the point where many pictures seem to come alive on canvas, as seen in the work 'American Icon- Elk' by Kevin Daniel. The range of depiction available in these elk prints are part of what make these works ideal for hunting scene paintings, since hunters can not only appreciate the beauty of these animals but also gain valuable clues into these animals habitats and behaviors.
