"Be the Buffalo" Painted by Dakota Daetwiler, 2021.
This was a custom painting for a client. He told me the story of the buffalo, and how they are different from most every other animal in how they handle oncoming storms. Here's a quick summary: "I recently read an interesting article that talked about how a herd of cattle and herd of buffalo react differently when they know a storm is approaching. The gist of the story was that when a storm is coming in, cows will instinctively run away from the storm thinking that’s the best approach. What ends up happening when they do this is that they run with the storm, essentially prolonging their exposure to the storm. In contrast, when a herd of buffalo sense a storm rolling in, they will run straight at it and get through it quicker."
That is so interesting to me and makes for a very inspiring and powerful painting.
Please note: The prints do not include the wording "Be the Buffalo" seen in the video.
