I am a fan of bison in general, but I am particularly enamored of floating buffalo! Buffalo often appear in Native American spiritual stories as symbols of selfless giving. They are a sign of quiet power. And when they fly... well, that to me is a sign of quiet power coupled with immense faith! This little painting is far prettier in real life than on your computer. It features deep rich colors and sweet fine lines. I created this good-luck image to bring a bit of magic and hope to the home or office of some fellow buffalo-woman or buffalo-man out there. How Flight was created..... After the black acrylic gesso dried, I used palette knives to create a bold expressionist underpainting filled with bright yellows and oranges and reds. One that richly textured layer dried, I used knives and brushes to layer blues and greens and create the peaceful landscape scene. Finally, I used tiny detail brushes to paint the lines and highlights and words. Flight was painted on a rigid canvas panel. The edges of the panel have been painted, so this piece looks lovely displayed just as it is on a small stand or decorative easel. Or it can be easily and affordably framed as it requires no glass or matting. ***NOTE: I can include a new plastic stand with your order at no charge if you request one at the time of payment.
