Rich amber and fiery orange leaves juxtapose the cool blues of the water, with strokes so thick and textured, they seem almost tangible.

Sunset hues bathe the scenery, highlighting the muscular frame and shaggy mane of this iconic North American creature, emphasizing its quiet power and rugged beauty. A testament to both the artist’s skill and the majestic wilderness of Alberta, this image transports its beholder to a crisp autumn day, next to the tranquil waters and the gentle rustling of leaves. *** About Bison: Bison, often called buffalo in North America, are massive beasts known for their thick fur and powerful build. Roaming the grasslands of North America in immense herds, bison play a crucial ecological role. Despite their size and strength, these animals were driven near extinction in the 19th century due to hunting and habitat loss. Conservation efforts, particularly in areas like Elk Island National Park, have helped partial recovery of their populations. These animals represent resilience and are a symbol of American wildlife conservation successes.
