Sweet Dreams

Some years ago I had the privilege to meet a five days old moose calf in a zoo in Norway. A hunter had shot the mother, found the calf and brought it to the zoo. The tiny creature was laying in the staff office to keep it wamr, and over the years it grew to become a healthy (and huge) moose cow.
The moment inspired me to paint the animal back in nature, where it belonged, with three friendly finches whatching over her. The painting is small, to emphasize the fragility of the little moose.
