Three Bison

Bison are so interesting to study and draw!  I've only had the opportunity a couple of times, so this is a real treat!  The best part of going to a preserve is the chance to get up close and personal with these large animals.  Here is a miniature ink and watercolor in ATC size, the best size for a tiny painting window.  Painting number 2624 in 2624 days.

Elk and Bison Prairie

The Elk and Bison Prairie was a pleasant surprise upon arriving!  Beautifully nestled in the hills, a winding road led through this natural space.  Woods surrounded large prairie grass ranges, with winding creeks twisting through.  The large herd moved slowly as they grazed, walking right into the car path and across.  A couple crossed and others walked close enough to touch them.  But of course, we didn't!  They can be unpredictable, and they are not as gentle as cows!  So cool to spend a little time with them in such a beautiful space.  Painting number 2620 in 2620 days.
