Statue of Sully, Former President George H.W. Bush's beloved service dog

The life-size statue of Sully, expertly crafted by Susan Bahary, serves as a touching tribute to the loyalty and companionship shared between the late President George H. W. Bush and his beloved service dog, housed at the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas. The background is textured with shades of blue and grey, while the floor has a bold red hue, providing contrast to the subject.

A new painting, "Bison Jam" by Hailey E. Herrera.

A group of wild bison is walking along a roadway in Big Bend National Park, blocking the road. Over 30 million bison once roamed in Big Bend but they were declined to less than 500 by 1900 and were mostly extirpated in Big Bend. It is an imaginary scene how it might be if they were to roam freely in the park again like they do in Yellowstone National Park today.
