The artist wrote, “The moose, with all his bizarre conformation, has a variegated and lustrous coat. You must first lay in the local color, which in art talk is the actual color without the influence of strong light, direct or reflected. Then you superimpose a tone that suggests the shine that ideally plays over the animal, taking shapes that define the form as well as adding interest to the painting by their design – themes within themes, you might say.”
