acrylic on board, 12 by 18 in.
Kuhn writes, "Wild sheep inhabit some pretty awesome sweeps of high country." He continues, "To paint mountain sheep one must portray the lofty reaches of their habitat...I'm only a painter of mountains when my animal subjects haul me up...to their otherwise inaccessible crags and alpine meadows."
Kuhn returned to the subject of bighorn sheep over his illustrious career, and several depictions of the species were selected for "Wild Harvest," including the frontispiece, "Mating Madness," and "Big Horn Rams Up High."
