August challenge; texture. The Buffalo Hunt

This is a detail from a piece of artwork by an American artist named Kuka King. I was fortunate enough to visit South Dakota about 20 years ago and bought this as a momento.

Kuka King grew up on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana. He developed a unique technique of embossed lithographs called Kuka-graphs; what I like about this one how the spirit of the Buffalo is depicted through texture rather than colour.

"Paintings are made with tools and our experiences, but art is made with our heart.”
Kuka King 1946-2004
