Original artwork description:

I loved the relationship between the shape of the bison and the distant hills. The wild animals of the North Dakota Badlands are beautifully adapted to their environment, with color, shape, and tenacity. I did three pastels of these magnificent beasts. Each a color feast.

Materials used:

chalk pastel on rag paper with acrylic sienna underpainting, with rag mat and back
