Artist's Comments

Inspiration comes in the oddest places...was looking at a book of Joan Miro's art & saw his work called "The Fight of the Dragonfly before the Sun" & I thought it looked like a bull. Take a look & see what you think [link]

I probably could have found better example, but I'm feeling very lazy.

My friend Robert's photo of a young buffalo [link]
helped me with the details. You're probably thinking WHAT details.

This is my 1st attempt at Contemporary Art:Simplification. I must say I really liked it.

This was finger painted....went over the blue with a brush using a Crisscross motion to give it a confetti look to the background.
The size of the canvas is 24 X20 in.

Gloria, I really like it. I think it's very cool. It reminds me of some of the buffalo I've seen in pictographs or painted on hides.

I am very relieved. I got mixed reactions at home. My daughters loved it, my husband still avoids the question "What do you think?"

Personally, I think it came out really good. Thank you for the fav.

I forgot to mention I painted this with my index finger...then went back over the blue with a brush & made X strokes though out the background to give it a different texture.

Yes, it does look quite like some of the Anasazi pictoglifs here carved into rock.

Yes, I thought it looked Native American in style too, so it is hanging with that group of paintings. Rather then with the abstract ones.

Yes, that would be my choice, too! Certainly, not modern abstract.

this is simply wonderful. I love what you have done here. It looks like old indian paintings. My eyes are drawn to the colors and the illusions of texture.

There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others, who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun....Pablo Picasso

There IS a lot of texture here esp. in the buffalo hide.
Thank you so much for the fav. & esp. for the old Indian painting comment.
