This is an original work of art oil on canvas by Sheryl Bodily showing a field of grazing bison with a large storm cloud rolling in over the horizon and a bird flying over the field. Sheryl Bodily was born in Boise, Idaho in 1936 to a family of five children and was son to a farmer. He recalls moving six separate times as a child for farming work, countless farming chores and having the hobby of collecting arrowheads and artifacts in the Rocky Canyon near Meridian, Idaho. Later he was considered a Montanan being a resident of Columbia Falls, Montana. Bodily has won countless awards and Best of Show with his works being widely collectible. This work comes out of a large Livingston, Montana collection and is signed in the bottom left “SL BODILY” typical of other works by the artist. This is truly a wonderful masterpiece showing fine detail and telling a wonderful story from a scene of the Western life. This example shows a larger size and greater detail than most examples offered by Bodily. Canvas measures 18”x24” and the frame is 26”x32”.
