It seems that I have been painting a lot of bison of late, both in acrylic and pastel. They are a fascinating animal and very interesting to capture on paper or panel. As with all the animals I paint, I endeavor to capture their own uniqueness within each work of art. Here I hoped to show a certain sense of gentleness . . . of uncertainty, that I expect is not often associated with these large and formidable lords of the American Great Plains.
Inspired loosely by familiar, frayed wool blankets that bore National Park names and motifs, as well as a lovely western style molding for the frame, everything came together to complete this unique depiction of my bison . . . looking back on the life that was, into a future that is an unknown and quite possibly moving forever “Into the Sunset.”
Framed and ready to hang with a beautiful molding appropriate for this western style painting.
