This art, "American Buffalo", originally painted by Dave Bartholet, combines the beautiful coloration of wood with stunning imagery to create a unique and interesting art piece for your home. The knots and grains subtly shine through the image to add dimension and warmth to your walls.
American Buffalo is a collage of individual wood boards, giving it grains and knots unique to every piece. These boards are then secured together using two wood strips running along the back of the art. In addition to tightly securing the art together, these wood strips also allow the piece to sit slightly off your wall and help it naturally frame itself.
When we craft this piece, we use no whites in the image, instead, we allow the natural coloration of the wood to take its place so that the beauty of the wood isn’t overtaken by the image. This creates an interplay of texture and color creating art that lives so naturally on the wood, you might think it grew there.
Since we use kiln-dried wood and all-weather UV-protected ink, you can accent any part of your indoor or outdoor living space with this art for years to come.
Dave Bartholet, a self-taught artist, showed up on the planet in 1949. Having spent his early childhood in Wyoming, his love for wildlife was forged from the get-go. In 1971 he started his journey as a professional artist selling his original watercolors through galleries and eventually art shows throughout the west.
His loose style of watercolors has proven to be very popular with an estimated 100,000 households that collect his work.
