30x48'' original painting
The painting captures a dramatic moment on the prairie, as a herd of bison grazes under a darkening sky, a storm brewing in the background. The horizon fades into shadows, and the tension of the impending weather is palpable. At the forefront, one bison cow stands tall, her fur thick and rugged, and a red ear tag dangling from her left ear— a stark contrast to the natural tones of the prairie landscape. The bright yellow grasses sway in the breeze, contrasting against the ominous clouds that swirl above, while the bison herd seems undisturbed by the looming storm, continuing to roam the open plains.
The red ear tag on the cow draws the viewer's attention, symbolizing the delicate balance between human intervention and wild nature, hinting at conservation efforts or modern interactions with wildlife. The painting evokes both the untamed spirit of the bison and the vastness of the prairie as it stretches endlessly towards the dark sky. The play of light and shadow adds depth, bringing the scene to life with the tension of the storm and the steadfast presence of the bison.
