On Saturday, October 5

It will be one year since I finished the first of the bison.

My journal entry from October 5, 2018 says:

omg.  I painted a painting that I can feel.  If I stand close enough I can hear her breathe. omg.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.  All that heaviness for several weeks and then.... WOW.

The bison are now on exhibit at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in Excelsior through October 20.  Thank you to the warm community there for hosting and special thanks to Anne Groton for curating.

Anne has been gracious enough to send comments she has heard.  This was one, from a teen member of their youth group: "It's good to face confrontation, we can't afford not to."
