Forgotten Symbols: The Buffalo's Endurance

The mixed-media painting featuring a buffalo is a bold commentary on the role of symbols in our fast-paced world. The buffalo, depicted in bold orange and teal hues, represents the timeless nature of symbols that have been present since the dawn of human history.

The cave drawings of buffalo symbols, positioned next to the buffalo, highlight the idea that these symbols continue to hold significance, even though they may have been forgotten in our contemporary society.

This painting invites the viewer to slow down and consider the importance of symbols in our lives and to remember that even though the world may move quickly, these symbols remain steadfast.

This Bison was so freeing for me. I got to use big strokes and lots of paint. I am fascinated by bison - the symbols through the ages. How they were painted on cave walls - just as it sits on my wall now.
