Description

Buffalo Hunt

A Native American hunter on horseback turns and draws his bow with an arrow knocked and ready attempting to aim at the massive buffalo that thunders out of the mists behind them.

The hunter wears only leggings but has hand print shaped war paint decorating his body. He grips his horse tightly with his legs as he twists in the saddle to loose and arrow at the great bison.

His appaloosa coated horse desperately gallops away from the great charging beast. It kicks up rocks and dirt as it tries to evade the pursuing beast.

The buffalo seems to be a creature born of the fog. As it stampedes towards the man and horse, it lowers its head for the charge and breathes and angry steam.

I've been experimenting with a leopard appaloosa coat for my equestrian themed art. I wanted to see how well it stood out against a dark and moody foggy backdrop. I liked the dramatic look so much that I decided that I wanted a REALLY intense scene. So, I created this where it was not entirely clear which was the hunter and which the hunted.
