Bovine of the Prairie

I had a old photo of a Buffalo at top of a ridge with trees silo barn  windmill fence ect. Thought it ruined it cropped it out .  I like this better .

Side note 1492 60 million of these , some herds were in the millions. By 1890 780 were left alive.

This is a pastel soft pastels with hard and some  pastel pencils on 15 x 22 stonehenge  paper .  Have a stack of sheets and pieces from pencil drawings. I like how it handles pastels.

As happy as I am with this I am going to do a few more in this style with other American wild life. 







Thanks for looking
