CHAD POPPLETON High Ground | Oil on Canvas - 40”W x 50”H (framed) The original painting from which the 2014 SEWE poster, High Ground, was created. An avid sportsman and conservationist, Chad spends as much time in the field as he does in front of the easel. Observing wildlife in their environment captivates him and his paintings are a reflection of this and his love for the outdoors. “The featured piece was truly a joy to create from its inception through the last stroke,” says Chad. “The painting and its subject has a special place in my heart. Rocky Mountain elk represent nobility and are considered the king of all deer species. It’s only natural for me to share my love of this ‘King of Deer’ cradled in the most spectacular settings.” SEWE 2014 | Preview Night Gala Live Auction
