“An American Icon”     Mark Schutter ©2010       Watercolor Pencils
The American Bison is a true original and its image takes us back to a seldom remembered past when they roamed freely over the land prior to their decimation almost to extinction at the hands of man. I tried to capture the simple beauty, strength and majesty of this truly magnificent animal. This was previously painted a few years ago but the 4th of July got me to thinking about our great country so thought I would post it here. Enjoy! ~M
Happy 4th of July, Mark! Thank you for bringing sunshine into my life. . .

Sharla, thank you! Happy 4th and happy summer!
Mark this is an amazing painting no matter how long ago it was done! The buffalo is truly an American icon , you called it correctly I truly admire your artistry and thank you for sharing a piece of your heart and soul with all of us.
Thank you so much, it is one of my favorites. In fact I have done quite a few different versions of buffalo’s. Maybe I will post some more in time. Thanks again!
