On The Precipice
Painting #15 of my Painting a Day project. The bison is back! I haven't painted a bison yet in this series - last night it was a duel between Elk and Bison...Bison won! I wasn't sure how I was going to handle the background on this one, but had the idea that I wanted a "halo" around her head, signifying the sacredness of the bison and her importance in our survival as human inhabitants of this planet. This piece will be framed and entered into the Western Spirit miniature Art Show.
Deciding what piece to enter into this show - the non-juried part of a larger, juried show - was difficult. I had another piece picked out, but last night when I finished this one I knew it was the one I wanted to put in. I think it makes a nice companion to Wolf Wisdom, the painting that got into the juried part of the show.
My camera has a hard time picking up nuances in value and tone in the reds - the cadmium red seems to take over. So what you can't see in this photo are all the beautiful variations in color on Bison's coat.
