YUKONS FINEST

"Yukon's Finest" is more than a painting—it's a tribute to the untamed spirit of the North. Inspired by a journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Yukon in mid-October 2022, this artwork captures the raw beauty and majesty of one of Canada’s most iconic creatures: the bull moose. Just days before the land was blanketed in winter’s first snow, I traveled with my son, Dallas, through the wilds of Whitehorse. Every turn in the road revealed another striking scene, each one begging to be captured. My camera never rested, and neither did my inspiration.

This painting is a reflection of that adventure—of crisp autumn air, golden light filtering through boreal forests, and the silent presence of a moose standing like a monarch of the North. It holds not only the essence of the land but also the unforgettable memories of a father and son exploring the wild together.

A piece for those who revere the great outdoors, "Yukon's Finest" is a reminder of the profound connection between nature, family, and the moments that shape us as artists and adventurers."

🍂 Artist Proof Canvas

This canvas giclee version is printed with the same exacting standards as its paper counterparts but on an American made artists canvas.  It is printed smaller than the original painting which tightens up the detail in the artwork while allowing it to be more affordable and requiring less wall space. This variant requires custom framing of your choosing but without the need of glass and matts usually resulting in an overall lower framing cost.  Each canvas has two coats of archival varnish applied to it before it is signed and numbered.  It is then rolled and shipped with an accompanying certificate of authenticity. This canvas edition is limited to only 50 copies in total thus creating a high collectable value.  

🍂 Studio Canvas

This version of our canvas giclee prints was introduced for those who want a print in the identical dimensions as the original painting.  Once framed this canvas will be the most impactful version and really provide that “Wow Factor” to any room.  It is printed with the same exacting standards as its smaller counterparts.  The edition size for this studio canvas is set at only 25 copies in total thus creating a very high collectable value.
