big antique oil painting- bull moose & water lilies on pond- $887
The sun creates sunlit areas as it climbs through the tree line, but the blue morning haze is still a prominent element of the background. A huge bull moose appears to have been distracted by something, the snapping of a branch perhaps, as he feeds on water lilies while standing in one of those small sunny areas.
He raises and turns his head toward the distraction, water dripping from his mouth. I’ve owned the painting quite a long time, and since it is untitled, I’ve always called it
“Moose Interrupted.”
“Moose Interrupted.”
