“Legend of the Rockies – Split 5” is a tribute to one of the most iconic bull elk ever known, an animal that captured the attention of hunters, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts across North America.

This piece was created to honour both the presence and legacy of this legendary bull, portraying him in his prime-powerful, alert, and in a full-throated bugle across his domain. Every detail, from his massive antlers to the brilliant sunlight illuminating his head and rack, was carefully crafted to reflect the character that made him unforgettable.

Set against a rugged mountain landscape, the painting captures more than a moment-it tells a story. A story of dominance, survival, and the raw beauty of wild elk country.
