Missouri artist Andy Thomas captures perfectly the excitement of the Buffalo Hunt! He loves to paint the Old West and does so in the manner of Charles Russell - lots of action and narrative. In this piece, the dark strength of the buffalo contrasts dramatically with the white horse and its rider who want to take the buffalo for its meat and hide. The buffalo turns to attack before he is shot with the arrow, and we are caught at that precipitous moment. Who knows how it will end?
