This buffalo has become one of my favorite subjects to paint. I've explored him in various sizes—small, medium, and extra large—and across different mediums, including watercolor, oil, and pastel. This piece is particularly special as it's the first time I've incorporated earth pigment from Boulder into his eyes, creating a deeper connection to the place I call home. It felt fitting to include a piece of Boulder in the CU Buffalo. SKO BUFFS!
This original watercolor is 30" x 22". The Saunders Waterford 140# watercolor paper is mounted on a wood panel. Finished with archival spray varnish and hand buffed with cold wax medium. Custom framed and ready to hang.
