So here is my White Buffalo: Take 2 (nod to Lorie for that) š
I already like it better. I think the animal seems more peaceful and I definitely like the sizing better. It’s odd. I liked my line drawing of first attempt but almost as soon as I started laying in the color I was thinking it was too big.
This often happens when color first goes in. So it’s important for me to continue on as usual otherwise I’d never finish anything. That being said, if this was a large scale piece of artwork I would have pondered the issue a whole lot more. Instead I figured “Ah well, it’s only about 6 hours work so why not?”

These are a couple of white buffalo calves that I photographed this past Spring. As you know from my last White Buffalo Post this (the birth of a white calf) is supposed to be a really rare occurrence and here we have two of them.
The only thing I can think (though I really have no idea) is that genetic engineering has come a long way. And I imagine that nowadays once you have one white buffalo you can probably create a whole lot more. It’s a theory anyway.
Mona, She is already looking pretty!!
So a kinda technical question: When you “re-do” something like this, what happens to the first try?
Well It has only happened twice where I have completely finished a piece and thought I could do better. The first is the Raven which I’ve yet to redo and then this one. All others I quit before finishing. Those all got torn up and trashed.
A good friend was in yesterday and so she asked what you just did “What will happen to the first one.” I told her it would probably end up in a box somewhere. I didn’t tell her I was gonna tear and burn because I figured she’d have a fit. Turns out she still had a fit. š At any rate I may just give it to her.
Though honestly I don’t really know yet. Umm . . . maybe I should have started with this line.
you are too funny!
I think White Buffalo 1 is too nice to have to live in a box… you should give her to your friend, so she will have a good home!!!
and definitely no tearing and burning!! I am having a fit too! š
