This is a scene I recently painted of buffalo in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. This Refuge is only an hour from our home in Altus and a favorite place for my husband and me to camp and hike. I take lots of photos to paint from. The photos of the buffalo were actually taken in Wyoming, while the background photo was taken in the refuge. I really enjoyed working with these colors--I usually don't have such a variety of colors to work with when painting the refuge. I have been learning to work with grays more in mixing colors and I find that its easier to acheive the colors I am looking for. I learned a lot from an artist named Don Finkeldei who puts a lot of instruction on his web site. He was very gracious to answer my questions.
