Howard Terpning 'Proud Men', LIMITED EDITION CANVAS
"They followed the warrior's way," writes Don Hedgpeth, author of Spirit of the Plains People: The Art of Howard Terpning. "They were proud prairie horsemen with an appetite for honor and the visceral thrill of danger. They looked death in the face and fought on, emboldened by bravery and the armor of their medicine. They rode for revenge but would fight too for no other reason than to plumb the depth of their courage. There was blood on the prairie where they passed by, and women wailed in the lodges of their enemies."

Howard Terpning 'The Lonely Sentinel' SmallWorks
In the middle of winter, on the side of a snow-blanketed mountain, The Lonely Sentinel guards his post. Although he is beset on all sides by icy blasts and his horse shivers beneath him, the sentinel knows the value of honor and duty and will allow no wind to bow his head or bend his back.

Howard Terpning 'Offering To Sun'
OCTOBER 07 - LIMITED AVAILABILITY
The spiritual nature of Plains Indians led them to have holy places to which they could go to commune with those spirits that guided their lives or to feel close to what some called the Sure-Enough Father. Native American friends took the artist to such a place on the Blackfeet Reservation south of Browning, Montana. For generations and generations, the Blackfeet had been going into the woods and attaching small offerings to tree trunks and branches. In earlier times these would have been such rarities as eagle feathers or ermine tails or medicine bundles containing items of religious significance. In modern times swatches of cloth are an accepted substitute, respectfully maintaining the custom of ancestors. (We think the dappled woodland setting makes this image distinctive and particularly lovely among Terpning's body of work.)

Howard Terpning 'Medicine Horse Mask'
From Howard Terpning, one of the most important artists in America, comes a stunning new canvas featuring three Crow warriors preparing for an adventure. The head masks (or face masks) worn by horses were usually made for leading warriors and were considered medicine objects that gave power, protection and strength to the horse and its rider. The masks often had beautiful quill work, beads and feathered adornment and their design was sometimes inspired by a vision. Central to Native American medicine is the belief that each human, and every object, has a corresponding presence in the spirit world. These spirits can promote health, wisdom, and even success in battle. Don't pass up this chance to own a Howard Terpning limited edition.

Howard Terpning 'Three Generations'
An extended family of Crow women is portrayed in Three Generations. Skilled in the many demanding domestic tasks of their culture, these tribeswomen passed their traditions down from one generation to the next, ensuring the future of their tribe and customs. In this family portrait, the distinctive and expressive faces of the grandmother, mother and granddaughter are unique and yet universal. The middle generation carries the weight of responsibility with dignity, the elder, perhaps, now knows joy in understanding the circle of all life, and the adolescent is in that awkward stage we see in many of our own family portraits!
Howard Terpning, one of the most renowned and honored artists of our time, paints the heritage and culture of Native Americans, and in particular, the Plains Indians. Grandfather Speaks and The Teachings of My Grandmother are other recent (sold out) fine art canvas prints that focus on the importance of elders to the family life of the Plains Indian.
Image size: 28"w x 30"h.
