While attempting to photograph a herd of bison, I was offered a ride in a truck to get closer to the animals. Finding myself bouncing around the back of a pickup truck while taking photos of these massive animals was a bit unnerving when the large bull decided to follow the truck as if he wanted to chase it, especially since the pickup driver said he’d seen these animals jump over a five foot fence when they didn’t want to be restricted. Maybe in a future painting I’ll attempt a view of the bull in defensive or attack mode. This one is a more classic view of this great bull and cow. They can grow to 2,000 lbs and 6.6 feet high. I hope the painting conveys a feeling of the massive size and shape of these beautiful animals.
