36x48x1.5 acrylic on canvas in a custom-made oak wood float frame.

I think of this artwork as a memory of a visit to South Dakota and the Badlands, that has entered many of my paintings. In this one a buffalo appeared.

AI-Generated Description: The image is an abstract painting with a predominantly yellow background, featuring a vibrant array of colors, including green, orange, red, and blue. Geometric shapes are scattered throughout the piece, characterized by the use of negative space that adds to the dynamism and balance of the composition. Among these shapes, there is the distinct depiction of a small house on one side and an orange and blue flag on the top left. In addition, a small, stylized representation of a red kite is visible at the top right. The painting incorporates elements of a face in a cartoonish style in the lower right area. The texture of the painted surface suggests the presence of brushstrokes and possibly mixed media elements. Within the artwork, there is a single character, "口", placed towards the upper section of the canvas.

Artist's Response: I'm still trying to see the house, flag, red kite, and cartoon face that Mr. AI seems to find. Hmmm! The single character, "口", must be the many squares throughout the painting. I use squares and circles often. They have no meaning.....or do they? I'll have to study this more now that I am finished. Cheers!

ps. Did Mr. Ai miss the Buffalo?
