After exploring the use of white space in my Mendocino County series and Gull Lake, I was looking for something else to paint. Thumbing through a shoebox of old photos, I found a picture of the convoy of bison that greeted us as we entered Yellowstone National Park when I was 12 years old. After studying the photo and thinking about white space, I had the idea to compose the painting inside the silhouette of a bison head.
