May 4, 2012 Reward offered in death of Lightning Medicine Cloud
By BRAD KELLAR CNHI
GREENVILLE — A grieving Arby Little Soldier announced Friday a $5,000 reward has been posted for information leading to the person or persons responsible for the deaths of Lightning Medicine Cloud, a white buffalo sacred to Native Americans, and his mother.
"The people have taken the heart of a spiritual situation here," Little Soldier said.
During a press conference at the Lakota Ranch near Greenville, investigators looking into the deaths declined to release any details as to how the buffaloes died, other than to confirm that a criminal probe was underway, involving the Hunt County Sheriff's Office, the Texas Rangers and the federal Department of Indian Affairs.
Sheriff Randy Meeks did not comment on reports aired by a Dallas television station concerning the case.
"We are still early into the investigation and I'm not at liberty to say," Meeks said, adding a veterinarian was called to the ranch upon the discovery of the bodies. "We have not received that report yet."
Next week's Native American Powwow, which had been scheduled at the ranch to celebrate Lightning Medicine Cloud's first birthday, will still be presented.
"We are now going to celebrate his memorial," Little Soldier said.
I'm just a cook that draws and paints sometimes.
But I do really enjoy airbrushing. It's over when it hits (unless you are using the right artboard and watercolors and can go back with a brush to blend), and you can do such photo-realistic stuff with it.
Nothing wrong with non-experts enjoying a hobby and having a passion for what they enjoy doing.

Apparently Judge Van Horn got DHS involved
The white buffalo was discovered Monday. That means it was probably killed sometime Sunday night, April 29.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Believe me, Local folks have more of a clue than come DHS guys in DC
Poor things may have suffered a curse, being worshiped, which is wrong.
I have always been a pen and ink fan because of that. You put it down and its final
So you see how there are varying opinions on worshiping animals
It was a senseless killing
I always wanted to do something with egg tempera but never got around to it. That can be somewhat imitated with acrylics too. I’ve always liked the look of those old medieval period tempera paintings.
Last weekend, I got a pat on the back from a photog type for my pencil of the New Haven stage coach shotgun that I did years ago. Smudges, wiped off cat barf and 5 moves included.

Yeah you gotta seal stuff like that to prevent smudges
It does tie into the whole food thing for me. Everyone knows that eggs or milk left in a dish turn into epoxy that can't be removed.
I learned that in a skullery job.
I'm not quite there yet.

I wasn’t referring to DHS as having a clue, but having technology and assets.
I did LOL at that.

Well I fail to see why we need the Feds involved in this.

For the record this is technology central.
We aint just hicks in the sticks shooting critters just because.

Venus of course is famous.
That last one by Phil Schrimer looks like a photo!
I guess a real purist has to raise their own chickens and milk their own cow. /s lol
