Original Creation

Buffalo in Winter - Bill Alexander

Dirk1968 12 Dec 2023

This is one of Bill's paintings that I have found fascinating for a long time since I saw it from Tom 0779. Now a tutorial was finally available and I took the opportunity. The most difficult part for me was to paint the bison. That was a real challenge and screwed up my time a lot. It's the painting where I've worked on the longest so far. I changed this and that to my taste but tried to stay close to the original. This is now my version of Bill Alexander's "Buffalo in Winterโ€œand I hope you like it. As always fresh from before 25 min.

Canvas 24 x 30 cm (9.45 x 11.80 inch)2x white gesso, grinded 240/400, liquid white, time ca.5 hours
The second picture below has slight modifications especially with the bison in the foreground.

Hey Bob , thank you so much for this compliment .Maybe you'll try it ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Your Buffalo are better than Billโ€™s

Question for youโ€ฆ Iโ€™m from Montana, right at the foot of the Rockies on an Indian Reservationโ€ฆ. In my 56 years, Iโ€™ve never seen a house just sitting out among the Buffalo. Theyโ€™d knock that sucker flat. Iโ€™m wondering if you think Bill started to make a Buffalo and transformed it into a house?

Hey Bob. In the tutorial, he definitely painted a house. I think that's artistic freedom๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Hey Bob, the first time I painted buffalo. I just put a few photos next to it and started. That's a great honor. Thank you๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Hey Jeff, I really had no idea how to paint a buffalo. I just knew that I needed a different approach than Bill. He painted it in 28 minutes. Which is unbelievable. Nice that you also like the mountains. I really appreciate it ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช
