"Family Circle"

Musk Oxen

 

Musk Oxen form a circle just as in this picture for the purpose of warmth and especially to protect the calves from

predators, especially wolves.   In this painting I attempted to capture the density of their fur coats and the lethargic

temperament of these high Artic animals.
