In this evocative watercolor, local artist and long time former employee, Marty Ring, captures the quiet strength of a solitary bison set against the dramatic backdrop of Boulder’s iconic Flatirons. The wide, open meadow conveys a sense of freedom and vastness, while the finely detailed rendering of the bison highlights its resilience and presence. Above, a sweeping Colorado sky frames the ridgeline, blending soft clouds with the rugged peaks.

Ring’s work balances realism with a painterly sensitivity, honoring both the grandeur of the landscape and the timeless spirit of the American bison. This print resonates with anyone who cherishes Colorado’s natural heritage and western landscapes.
