“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
