The Matriarch

I saw this beautiful bison girl just after dawn in Yellowstone National Park one autumn, and painted her in a very abstract background – just emphasizing the warm golden hues of her hide and of that time of year. The original was acquired by the Missoula Hilton hotel, and is now the first thing that guests see when they enter the lobby.

    These are beautiful paintings Julie, perhaps time to consider putting some on t-shirts as well – think I’m in love with this one. Love the warm golden yellows you’ve surrounded her with:)

    shallay, thank you for the kind words! I hadn’t thought about shirts – but if you think my images might work there, I’ll give it a try!

    This is a masterpiece, Julie. Congratulations on selling the original. Having it hang it in a place where many can enjoy it, must be a great feeling for you as the artist. Bison are one of my favourite animals. Gorgeous work! ~ Skye
