I have always liked elk and deer. When I was a kid we had a carpet on the wall with an elk standing in the middle of a woody forest, looking straight into your eyes, very much like this elk. It looked a little scary sometimes especially on cloudy and rainy days when the room was dark. But, it also looked intriguing and mysterious at the same time as if it was trying to tell me a story. The rug got old and frayed. It does not exist anymore, except in my imagination. Now as an adult I tried to reflect part of my imagination in this picture. I hope you like it.
