A bull elk throws its head back, and the sun behind it sends rays across the whole sky.

This Rocky Mountain National Park poster centers on one elk standing on a grassy rise, drawn in golds, greens and a cool mountain gray. Try it in a cabin hallway, a den or over the bench where the jackets hang.

Sunburst Elk in detail

The art is a landscape-shaped panel placed on a cream sheet. Inside it, the sky is golden amber, and lighter rays fan out from a white sun disc that rests just above the ridge, a little left of center.

In front of that sun stands a bull elk in profile. Its head is tipped back and its mouth is open in the bugling pose, and its antlers reach across the white disc. The body is ochre gold, with a dark brown mane at the neck and dark legs.

Behind the elk runs a blue-gray mountain ridge in two tones, highest on the left. A dark green strip of low hills crosses the panel, with two conifers at its far left, and the elk stands on an ochre mound among blades of golden grass. Beneath the picture, dark green capitals spell the park name: "ROCKY MOUNTAIN" on one line and "NATIONAL PARK" on the next. Flat fields of color with clean breaks between them give the poster a throwback travel-print feel.
