SUSAN HEDIGER MATTESON BOYS IN THE HOOD

20” x 24” — Oil $2,880

Boys in the Hood is inspired by the herd of elk that comes through our field on their traditional migration route from the mountains to the lower elevations and back again. These were some of the young bulls who were hanging together, practicing fighting, and checking to see if the girls were impressed.
