Buffalo Girl





This week I traveled to Cleveland, Tennessee with fellow Chestnut Painter, Sandra Harris. We visited Gregg Vital's buffalo farm. Gregg placed his farm in the Land Trust so it will forever be as beautiful and untouched as it was this week. Gregg has six buffalo on his property. There is one bull named Bill, three cows named Peanut, Butter, and Jelly and two calves as yet unnamed. This photo is a painting of one of the cows. She has a beautiful head, so ancient and so magnificent. The second photo is a painting of early morning on the farm while the fog still covered the ground, a most beautiful time of day. Gregg's farm manager, Steve, was very helpful and informative as he introduced us to this beautiful property.
