To the Blackfeet Indians, like most Native Americans, the Earth represented mother. It was often the custom for braves and elders to walk away from camp in the early evening so they could admire nature's splendor. Because of these feelings, they couldn't understand why the European settlers would bore into the Earth's soil. In a painting like this, I let the image speak for itself, creating a careful balance between the foreground subjects and the splendid landscape.
-Howard Terpning
“Known as the “Storyteller of the Native American,”Terpning helps to keep the Native American heritage alive with authenticity, respect and admiration. As the most renowned and honored Western artist painting today,Terpning’s work is treasured by collectors for the timeless stories they tell.“The more I study the American Indian, the more intrigued I become,” says Terpning.“There’s always another story waiting to be told and I feel it is a privilege to be able to paint it.”
Howard Terpning is one of the most lauded painters of Western art. His awards are so numerous and he is honored with them so often, that to list them would require changing the count every few months. To name three would be to cite the highest prizes awarded to Western art: countless awards from the Cowboy Artists of America, the Hubbard Art Award for Excellence, the National Academy of Western Art’s Prix de West and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Gene Autry Museum. Why such praise? Passion, compassion, devotion and respect for his subject matter, extraordinary talent in palette and brushstroke, an exceptional ability to evoke emotion both in his paintings and from those viewing them — all this and more has made Terpning the "Storyteller of the Native American."
