$ 47,000The title "Snowmen" not only nods to the snowy environment but also conveys the idea that the bison have become an integral part of this frozen realm, standing as testament to nature's remarkable ability to shape and mold life in its own image. At the forefront of the composition stands the central bison, a sentinel of strength in the snow-covered expanse. This serves as a focal point, embodying the power and resilience that define these creatures, while also reflecting the fluctuating dynamics that shape their herds. As seasons transition, the bison herds shift between aggregations and segregations, mirroring the ebb and flow of life's cycles. Three magpies take flight overhead, their silhouettes adding an element of movement and life to the stillness of the landscape that serve as both companions and symbols to survival in the harshest of winter conditions.
