The Buffalo Run

Well this is one of my favorite new pieces as of 20 min ago. It's called The Buffalo Run and is probably my most obvious reference to primitive man and his art that I have ever really done. Usually I reference the mark making, earth tones or general "expression" to make the link but with this piece I decided to do something that was both representational as well as a look into the spirituality of the people back then. This specifically speaks to native americans and their reverence toward the Buffalo, seeing it not only as something they can use to survive, but something they were blessed with and, while using it as a source for many things, respected it for all its power and life. It truly was a different way of looking at the world around you and was an interesting concept to try to display in a painting.

Anyways, I thought it turned out pretty darn well and am very pleased with the outcome...at least for now (painted over "The Dragons Bow" from last week)
