There is something magical about the bison. Unlike other western animals, the bison reigns at the top as a symbol of North America before the arrival of the Europeans.
The power of the bison as he moves through the snowy field, his heavy breathing visible by the puffs of white fog, the cold showing in the clumps of snow attached to his fur.
In the past, the bison numbered in the tens of millions across Northe America with some herds numbering in the tens of thousands.

""I always try to capture the atmosphere or sense of space in a painting when I can. When people stop and stare at a painting for a while, then it has been successful.""
