Buffalo Hunter


Buffaloes used to cover the plains where I now live. Sometimes, they say, it would take days for an entire herd to pass by. Today there are a handful left in zoos and preserves. But they're ready for you this time.

This was a painting done while watching a western on tv. Made on my iPad. It's quickly becoming my preferred sketch pad. I was completely finished by the time I noticed that I had given him sleeves, but no collar. It was just too much fun developing that hairy chest. But that's probably why we call them sketches instead of masterpieces.
