Buffalo Kaplinski (American, b. 1943). "Waiting for the Dawn to Awaken / Before the Dark Awakes" water color on paper, n.d. Signed with titles on verso. A stunning watercolor painting by artist Buffalo Kaplinski featuring an abstract rendering of a mountainous desert landscape in the American Southwest beneath a pitch-black night sky. The sandstone formations glow in warm hues of tangerine, apricot, and sienna, as gray shadows add contrast. The silhouette of a lone, seated figure is featured at the lower left, holding a walking stick as though resting during a long journey to take in the magnificence of the awe-inspiring view. Size of painting: 18" W x 7.75" H (45.7 cm x 19.7 cm); of frame: 25.25" W x 15.5" H (64.1 cm x 39.4 cm) Buffalo Kaplinski studied at the American Academy of Art and the Chicago Art Institute. He moved to Taos, New Mexico in 1967 where he became an outstanding contemporary landscape artist, working in both acrylic and watercolor. His work has been exhibited by the American Watercolor Society, the Artists of America show, and the National Academy of Design. In addition to painting the natural environs of the American Southwest, and being honored as an invited artist in the "Rims and Ruins Exhibit - Paintings done at Mesa Verde National Park, Durango, Colorado" (2014) he has created plein air paintings in approximately twenty five countries.
