Bison at Buffalo River | Namesake

Namesake

While this critter is a bison and not a ‘buffalo’, people commonly refer to them as buffalo anyway. It is considered the namesake of the Buffalo National River in our part of this beautiful state of Arkansas (USA). This painting is a tribute to the ‘Buffalo’, the river for which the bison are a namesake, and to the First People who depended on that majestic creature.

This 12 x 16″ painting is on Arches watercolor paper. The colors, with the exception of the small area of blue sky, are all light-fast Ozark earth pigments. Click here to see the process of making this artwork from start to finish.

The painting is framed in barn wood currently, but the price listed here is not including the frame. The frame will be included free of charge if the buyer pays shipping. I will ship anywhere, but there are no refunds or guarantees for artwork shipped internationally. Domestic shipments will be insured and signature required. If this painting is purchased in person at a show or private review, the frame is included at no extra charge.

Prints

All of my prints are processed in house with a professional giclée art printer using archival inks. The paper is archival watercolor paper for high quality prints. 

Notecards

Notecards are 4 x 5.5″, blank inside, and printed on the same professional printer as my prints. Each are packaged in a clear bag with an envelope and the insert that tells the story of how I began my watercolor journey with Ozark pigments. All of my artwork is available on notecards, and you can mix and match to order a set of 5 for a discount. Sets are not individually packaged, but are attractively presented together in a box.

More Info

All of my paintings begin with foraging for rocks, bones, clay, or other pigment sources. If you’d like to read a little more about my life of foraging for rocks, read this post: She Delivers in Spades.
