This is fantastic Michael. I really like this one.

Artist Reply: Thanks so much Minnie. I have always been fascinated with the bison and the tribute the Originals had when they were forced by hunger to harvest them. There were many prayers for the ascension of the soul of the bison and gratitude to the family of the harvested ones and to the Earth Mother. Not much like shopping is it. I loved the melancholy sentiment of how they cut from the herd on their own when the became a burden. A noble gesture for the good of the tribe. Very interesting behavior. Minnie, thanks so much for your encouragement and kind words. You are so very kind. My gratitude to you, Michael

I really love this!!! You really captured the beauty within!!!

Artist Reply: Thank you so much Debbie. You woke up some of these images. They have had no admirers for quite some time. Everyone dwells on the new works. My gratitude to you for your kindness and thanks for showing your child this work. Michael

Michael, this really is beautiful. I love buffalo and there is a friend of mine who is even more a fan than I am. Why don't you send this on to Kevin Costner? I think he would love this because of DANCES WITH WOLVES. just a suggestion... Keep up the great work! Linda Jade
