Western Art Native American Painting The BUFFALO SHIELD by Steven Chorney AA warrior possessing the power and stamina of the Buffalo, the great American Bison, would fear no opponent. By arming himself with a war shield made with the iron-tough rawhide of such an animal, even painting a representation on its surface, a brave would indeed feel nearly invincible. Having seen many battles this warrior has added a small red mark in the center of the image indicating possession of not only the power and the courage, but even the very heart of the buffalo. Oil painting on canvas. LINKS THE ARTWORK OF STEVEN CHORNEY ABOUT THE ARTIST CONTACT THE ARTIST
