BURNETA VENOSDEL PRAIRIE TREASURES

7” x 6” x 5” — Bronze $895

Prairie Treasures is a tribute to the animals on the prairie where I grew up in northwestern Oklahoma. It is a celebration of the bison, horned toad and bobwhite quail that used to roam freely on the short grass plains. Take a closer look! There is a covey of quail hunkered down behind the cactus. The cactus is almost all that remains!
