Mountain Man, Anno 1800

[Elaphus]

Hi all,

I dared to my most extensive work, but I must say that was pure fun!

The painting was done in oil and acrylic, the snow is from Deluxe Materials.

I hope you like the scene also, many greetings

That must have taken ages to make and paint! The end result is brilliant though.
Great work

 

[Aveleira]

Not only the figure is pretty well painted, but also the ground is very well done..., very realistic... And the base with that nice nameplate altogether look Great!
Again Great piece!!!

Amazing work Karsten just amazing. Like the complete package, no piece better than the other.
Would love to see some larger photos.

Johan, the Russians started trading along the Yukon around 1790, then came the British with the Hudsons bay company and very much later the Americans arrived.
If I remember correctly the Americans Lewis and Clarke were ordered to find a route across North America due to Scots finding and naming the McKenzie River and yes the Scots explorer was called .............
