This intimate portrait captures a lone bison, the quintessential “Denver Native” and one of my most beloved subjects to paint. I encountered this magnificent beast during a winter afternoon at Rocky Mountain Arsenal, where I was immediately drawn to the gentle interplay of setting sun against pristine snow and his stoic, unhurried presence.
There’s something serene about watching a bison simply exist in his natural element—completely present, unburdened by the rushing world around him. This piece invites that same tranquil energy into your space, offering a reminder of the quiet strength and groundedness that these incredible animals embody.
