SOLD The challenge in this painting was to express the intense nature of a bull buffalo. He looks at us with a challenging stare, and we don't know what he's thinking or what he will do next. Despite his huge, lumbering appearance, he can move with surprising speed and agility. I was once surrounded by a herd of buffalo in the wild. I hid behind a totally inadequate tree trunk and didn't dare breath or move a muscle as the whole herd wandered past me, snuffling and grunting. It was an awesome experience, and the most terrifying several minutes of my life. But it forged a lifetime connection and respect for these magnificent creatures.
