There's something about September and the brisk morning air that draws me to paint buffalo. Perhaps it's the the sound and sight of tall, drying blades of yellow grass, waving in unison as the wind passes over them, or the changing sound of aspen leaves, flickering in the sun, foretelling of something to come. . . as if it were a mystery. The only mystery of course is when and for how long will the next season last. Fall is a season of preparation and change. So as I stock up on firewood and watch the horses blowing their summer coats and "hairing up" for winter, there is a sense of excitement and anticipation as everything in the wild world gets ready for winter.

The top two paintings went to the "Artist's Gathering Show" at the Chico Basin Ranch this past Labor Day weekend and will travel to their show in Denver later this month.
The bottom painting is still at the studio awaiting it's frame and varnish.
