Range Warrior-Bison

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Sue did a great job of hosting this week and provided a bunch of terrific photos!

 Years ago, I fell into painting a lot of bison/buffalo. They were a popular subject . It became a regular thing until I ran out of good reference photos. So it felt good to go back and revisit one of these ol' guys.

Thick paint...much of it applied by painting knife.

C&C welcome. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Where The Buffalo Roam

This is my submission to Gary Keimig's Wilderness Art Challenge. Gary is a mighty talented artist and photographer who resides in the perfect location...in the Rocky Mountain beauty of Wyoming! He snapped this magnificent bull bison at Hot Springs State Park. What a lucky man!

A few years back, due to some buyers, I fell into the niche of buffalo/bison art...so I'm fairly familiar with them. This was especially fun to paint!

Buffalo Portrait

Here's a handsome ol' boy from way out West. I just felt like it was time to paint another buffalo...technically a 'bison', I guess. Whatever you choose to call him, he is a survivor...removed from greatness, yet still a survivor. The great majestic herds that once roamed freely didn't fit in with the plans of man.

I really enjoy doing buffalo (bison). Maybe because they are such a part of America's heritage...maybe because they are symbols of man's greed and carelessly causing near extinction. They force me to contemplate......Finished today, hot off the easel!
