Breaking the Trail - bison in winter by artist Stephen Lyman

 
Breaking the Trail - Bison by Stephen Lyman.
 
Lyman was as likely to turn his attention to the seemingly insignificant (plants, trees, rock formations) he encountered along the trail as he was to focus on the impressive and captivating "megafauna” such as this bison. He considered himself, in this regard, a painter of the wilderness, not a wildlife painter. "Breaking the Trail," a previously unpublished jewel by Stephen Lyman, is an example of his ability to capture wildlife in an environment that provides both scale and a glimpse of the animal's habitat.

 

Bison not only roamed the Great Plains but made their way well into the mountains and the forests throughout their expansive North American rangelands. Additionally, riding out a snowstorm in the tall pines was most likely a preferable experience to one on the open prairie.
