The Buffalo Hunt project is a fundraising venture to benefit the CM Russell Museum in Great Falls, Mont.
Tim was chosen as one of 26 artists to embellish these life-size buffalo replicas.
The painting re-creates a Russell illustration in which an Indian is painting pictographs.
The paintings transform into real buffalo that go over the top of the large animal and are forced over a buffalo jump.
The carved buffalo seem suspended in air as they fall.
The painting-turned-sculpture is an amazing depiction of an historical event that was vitally important to the Plains Indians.
