"American Buffalo"

I was commissioned by a friend of my grandmother to paint an American buffalo, given that she and her husband own a buffalo ranch. There they breed buffalo for meat mainly, but people can buy a buffalo and pay for it to be taken care of as well. Anyway, I was given a photograph and asked to paint it in my style of realism. I put my paintbrush to the watercolor paper and a few earthy tones later, "American Buffalo" was born. My customer was very pleased and I have been commissioned by that same woman to paint a leopard (to be used as a gift), as well as portraits of her favorite horses.
