Piece description from the artist
Prints: https://daniel-eskridge.pixels.com/featured/buffalo-hunt-daniel-eskridge.html
A Native American hunter on horseback turns and draws his bow with an arrow knocked and ready attempting to aim at the massive buffalo that thunders out of the mists behind them.
The hunter wears only leggings but has hand print shaped war paint decorating his body. He grips his horse tightly with his legs as he twists in the saddle to loose and arrow at the great bison.
His appaloosa coated horse desperately gallops away from the great charging beast. It kicks up rocks and dirt as it tries to evade the pursuing beast.
The buffalo seems to be a creature born of the fog. As it stampedes towards the man and horse, it lowers its head for the charge and breathes and angry steam.
I've been experimenting with a leopard appaloosa coat for my equestrian themed art. I wanted to see how well it stood out against a dark and moody foggy backdrop. I liked the dramatic look so much that I decided that I wanted a REALLY intense scene. So, I created this where it was not entirely clear which was the hunter and which the hunted.

Daniel Eskridge
Daniel is a forty-something living in the Metro-Atlanta area, and he is one of the few people who was actually born and raised there. He is also married and has two sons and a daughter. By day, he works as software engineer at a small company. By night he is an artist producing realist works depicting scenes of American wildlife, farm animals, fantasy scenes, extinct animals, and images of the "American Wild West":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Frontier.
Daniel has dual degrees in computer science and fine art from the University of Georgia. Given his education, it would seem only natural for him to combine the two by producing art using a computer. Daniel practices a new form of art called "3D Rendering":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_rendering, a form of virtual sculpting with a computer. This form of art is utilized by film studios for special effects as well as animated movies, but it can be used to make stills as well. "Check out this video of Daniel creating a 3D rendering!":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvoSvRhYPr4
Daniel’s interest in art began when he was young. As a fan of science fiction and fantasy novels, he became particularly interested in the works of the illustrators that appeared on the covers, such as "Frank Frazetta":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Frazetta and "Michael Whelan":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Whelan. In college, he discovered the work of the "French Realists":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realism_(arts), the "Pre-Raphaelites":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Raphaelite_Brotherhood, and the "Hudson River School":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_River_School, which further influenced him and put his work on a course where nature was the dominant theme.
