Nature's Cattle; Buffalo Herd; Before the White Man Came
1899
Watercolor, pencil & gouache on paper.
No one who saw the great herds of buffalo drifting down to the river to drink ever forgot the sight. Where ten years before a Montanan could ride 210 miles and be surrounded by buffalo for the entire journey, when Russell arrived in 1880 he was just in time to see the remnants of the awesome multitudes of the recent past still roaming at large. By 1885 the herds had vanished leaving tribes like the Blackfeet desolate at their loss. "Suddenly, almost without warning, they found themselves stripped of nearly every necessity of life." No wonder Russell made a buffalo skull his personal insignia, for the buffalo's fate was that of the whole West that he knew so briefly and loved so well.
Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
This fine art oil painting wall decor is equally at home in a residence, a boutique hotel, or a professional office. Its elegant character makes it a safe, distinctive gift for anyone furnishing a home office.
In short: Guardian of the Herd - Charles Marion Russell - Oil Painting Wall Decor combines an elegant composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for fine art oil painting and office wall decor.
