Final Version of the Buffalo Herd

Some anatomical parts were corrected and/or enhanced for these poor frozen beasts plowing their way through a Great Plains blizzard. I hope this is the final version!

The final version is super! I have to admit I thought the first version was cool. Interesting to see how changing a few things adding a bit more color kicked up to a higher level.

Thanks so much, Margo. I agree the extra work paid off.

Love your work Kay!. I especially love Chuy's portrait. Amazing! it looks like a photo.. Awhile back, I painted my sister-in-law's cat ..When finished, it looked like a cartoon! needless to say I trashed it. No more animals for me. I look forward to more of your work.

Thanks Margo and hmuxo. It takes a little effort to learn to paint fur and animal hair. I appreciate your comments!
