American Bison

Hot day. Just about to cool off with a coating of dust.  It wouldn't work for me or my friends but these guys love it.  I was thinking some nice cool purples and blues  could make him think twice about a wallow in the dirt.  My great nephew thinks I should have just used brown but I didn't have any earth tones in my palette.  Maybe next time, crimson and orange.
