Description
With this image, I was trying to create a character from completely natural materials...sticks, rocks, etc. Trying to get the feeling of nature and the buffalo gone and lost to us....the sadness of losing one's connection to the earth.
I know he's very strange looking but I find him quite appealing. Hope everyone is well and prospering. The weather is warming here and looking forward to a busy summer ahead :)

Now, this guy needs a lifting ! Or not ! After all, he's very likeable with his fossilized Shaman look ! Reminds me of a biology teacher I had a loooong time ago
Fantastic, imaginative, spent ages looking at this trying to take in all the elements. Inspirational as always. Midge
