Bison Carrying a Nomad Camp

A shaggy bison stands in tall prairie grass, its coat streaked with russet, gold, cream and blue, with braids hanging from the shoulder and ribbons in its beard. A nomad camp sits on its back, with three tents and a plume of smoke, and a dirt track winds along the fur with a horse pulling a cart. Children ride a sled across a pale patch, a weaver works at a loom, and a market stall with hanging cloth stands on the hump. Another stall of fruit crates sits between the horns, where two birds perch. Around the animal grow sunflowers, thistles, asters, prickly pear cactus and grey sage, with rocks and beetles in the grass. The braided locks and golden grass give the picture very clear textures.
