In this mixed media painting titled "Go with the Flow" by Erin, Bucky Badger fearlessly takes the plunge from the serene shores of the iconic UW Terrace into the crystal waters of Lake Mendota. This bold leap represents not only a willingness to try new things but also highlights the importance of the many lakes, like Lake Mendota, that are an essential part of Madison and Wisconsin's landscape. The artwork captures the excitement of Bucky's adventure, symbolizing the spirit of fearlessness and curiosity that many people in this area share as they enjoy the natural beauty and lively culture of the region. It is a celebration of Wisconsin's love for its lakes and the enduring sense of adventure that defines life in Madison.
Purchase a single Bucky illustration or gather a collection to create a unique spirit gallery wall, perfect for sharing the Wisconsin Badger pride with friends, family, and future Badgers alike.
