Titled: "The NorthFork Was My Home"
Oil on bone with driftwood and river rocks
Made In Montana Backcountry
May 2026
Local Artist: Jessie Zarmon
🎨🦴 This shoulder blade (likely a small Whitetail deer) was found during a backpacking trip in the Northfork River drainage of Montana. I had oil paints packed with me and ready to go. 🎨 This bone was painted while seated on the sandy banks of the river. A soft breeze danced in the young cottonwood tree just above me. A family of geese with their goslings were louning just across the swift current of the river. I collected pieces of tiny driftwood and river rocks that surrounded me, and are also a part of this painting. I believe honoring the life of this wild animal with an elegant beauty almost brings "life" back to this creature. 🦴🎨
