Whenever I go up to Yellowstone one of my favorite activities is watching the bison. This scene is a peaceful one, but a short time later there was more action. A small herd of cows, calves, and an old bull were resting near the road. A second bull approached the herd. The old bull got up and went out to face him. The new bull turned tail and began circleing the herd, trying to join. Whenever he got too close the old bull would start out to face him and the younger bull would trot off. He finally gave up and the old bull went back to graze among his herd.
Bison are such fun to depict. I've got several other paintings from our paintout in the stock yards that I need to finish. But I felt like painting bison, so I dug out my photos and thats just what I did.

How fortunate for you to be able to visit Yellowstone!! I've wanted ot go there for quite some time!! Keep taking advantage of all those photos! Great painting!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Doug! Love your story, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice painting Douglas! I'd love to get to Yellowstone someday. They used to have a small herd of bison in Golden Gate Park in SF if you can believe that!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. I'd recommend Yellowstone to anybody. But then, you guys don't have to leave your states to paint incredible scenery and mountains.
ReplyDeleteI know where our next paint out should be, Yellowstone here we come!
ReplyDeleteCool painting Doug. Look forward to seeing the Stockyard ones too.
WOW! Great job painting the buffalos, Doug.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
