When I was an aspiring young artist living in Minnesota, my first destination to observe wildlife was Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Moose, bison, and elk all captivated my interest but it was the pronghorn antelope with its striking markings, unusual black horns, and exceptional running ability that particularly drew my fascination. The dark sky in “Great Plains Pronghorn” is a compelling and dramatic backdrop for this exotic animal.
