The "Commandores of the Prairie Sea" by Kay Homan is captivating. Its attention to color makes you take a second. It has a unique contrast of colors, starting from the dark, earthy colors at the top, down to the bright, cutting shades, of the wild flowers at the bottom.
Set upon a hilltop of the golden plains in autumn, stand two bison, in shades of brown. surrounding them from above is a blackened, cloudy sky; an ominous sign of what is to come. Not alone, they are accompanied by brightly colored wildflowers, hidden in the golden plains. Visible only by their pink and red hues.
This majestic piece offers a sense of strength and certainty in an uncertain world. It would be a stunning display in any home.

I like your description of the painting, "Commanders of the Prairie Sea" I don't remember seeing it while we were at the gallery but you give very good details. Never having seen the painting I can still picture the grassy plains and wild flowers and feel the impending rain.
