There are many written descriptions of buffalo hunts by the plains Indians, and they are all fascinating. The very idea that a man could ride a pony into a raging stampede of wild buffalo and use a small bow and arrow of his own construction to deliver a lethal shot is almost unbelievable.

The genesis of many of my paintings starts with real events that are, to a modern man like me, hard to imagine experiencing. The painting is a way for me to be there from a very safe distance.
