16” x 20” acrylic painting on gold leaf, framed in a rustic gold frame.

The American bison carries the presence of history in its posture. Against the warm gold field, it feels enduring and immovable — like the plains themselves. Steadfastness reminds you of the strength within you that remains firm, even when the winds shift.

Number three in the "Gilded Virtues" series honoring enduring human strengths reflected through iconic American wildlife. Each painting is created on gold leaf and framed in a rustic gold frame, where the surface catches and shifts with light — evoking open plains, wide horizons, and the quiet radiance of the land.

Pieces in the series:

1. Wolf: Devotion
2. Eagle: Vision
3. Bison: Steadfastness
4. Deer: Gentleness
