Description
Badlands Bison American Icon, digital photo painting by Michele Avanti
Since I first saw the badlands, they have captured my imagination. The history of the Lakota people and their relationship to the buffalo is centered here. From the colors of the rocks, the red bluffs, the sandstone and the tall waving grasses, this land is stark and sacred.
This painting, though it has features of the badlands, you will not find the location since it is created from many different photos I have seen. The buffalo is based on a photo taken at the Winston Wildlife Safari where bison graze free in a natural environment. I hope you enjoy this imaginative painting which captures my vision of the great American Icon, the buffalo and the Badlands, of South Dakota.

Badlands National Park (Lakota]) is a national park in southwestern South Dakota that protects 242,756 acres (98,240 ha)[1] of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles, and spires blended with the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States. The park is managed by the National Park Service.
The Badlands Wilderness protects 64,144 acres of the park as a designated wilderness area[4] and is the site of the reintroduction of the black-footed ferret, the most endangered land mammal in North America.
The Stronghold Unit is co-managed with the Oglala Lakota tribe and includes sites of 1890s Ghost Dances, a former United States Air Force bomb and gunnery range, and Red Shirt Table, the park's highest point at 3,340 feet (1,020 m). Authorized as Badlands National Monument on March 4, 1929, it was not established until January 25, 1939. It was redesignated a national park on November 10, 1978.
Under the Mission 66 plan, the Ben Reifel Visitor Center was constructed for the monument in 1957 / 58. The park also administers the nearby Minuteman Missile National Historic Site.

These colours Vibrate.....{if I could add a .gif to that word that squiggles .. I would} :)))
Michele Avanti replied:
Thank you, Connie! Sometimes when I am working as I am now, late at night, I wonder if my colors are too strong. How I wish you could look over my shoulder and let me know your thoughts as I create. I have to depend on angels because by the time 6 am comes my eyes have lost their ability to see much. But painting is a passion, I simply love what I do. TY for visiting! xxoo
Edmonton, AB - Canada
Thank-you for adding me as a favorite Michele. I'll do the same for U and when I get more time I'll look at more of your artwork. I love this piece and I love the colors U have used. All my paintings are natural, but I may invest in photo shop in the future as I have many ideas that just can't be painted by brush alone. Keep up the great work! Love it! Sincerely Douglas...:>)
Michele Avanti replied:
Douglas, when you get photoshop the world of possibilities becomes limitless. I can hardly sleep with all the ideas for creation that go through my brain. With each piece I learn more and can do more. I look forward to seeing what you do with it and if you ever get stuck or have a question, ask, I just might have the answer for you. TY so much for your kind words about my art as well. I look forward to getting to know you better through your work!

Awesome work Michele. You have captured the rugged, forbidding but so beautiful landscape and the proud majestic Bison beautifully. Love the rich earth tones of the image.
