Description:
Clarke was a versatile artist. He worked in several media: oil, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, pencil, clay, and wood.
Clarke's favorite medium, and the one he was best known for, was cottonwood. Many artists found the wood's rough texture and soft fibers hard to work with. Clarke used these qualities to his advantage in creating the shaggy fur and lively expressions of the area's wildlife.
