Bison Calf

"Bison Calf"

This is a very small painting of a bison calf.  Several years ago, we were driving through the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge when we drove past a herd of bison with small calves.  I wish we had had a movie camera, for they ran alongside the car for quite a ways.  The herd stopped right at a parking lot in front of the prairie dog enclosure, so we were able to park there and take numerous photos of the mothers and calves.  This painting is of one of the calves we saw that day.
