American Horse
by Judy Larson®
American Horse,
the Oglala Sioux chief, was a study of adaptability. Although
born on the Northern Plains, he became an American citizen when he was
67 years old. He fought brave battles for his people, but when he
was 27 years old, led the battle for his people in peace. He had five
wives, including the daughter of war chief Red Cloud, but when only one
living wife remained, joined the Episcopal church. He rode beside great
chiefs in battle, including Red Cloud and He Dog, then rode briefly in
Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. He fought against the invaders of his
land, then traveled to Washington, rode down Pennsylvania Avenue and
took part in treaty delegations. He lived free on the land he loved,
then spent half his life on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
"As I was researching American Horse,
I found, once again, how easy it is for me to embrace the nobility,
love of land and the rights of people, peace and loyalty of the Native
American spirit. I see the same qualities in those who have chosen to
serve today and feel that they, too, are our leaders for tomorrow."

Gone Fishing
by Daniel Smith
“Gone Fishing
was inspired by a friend’s photo of brown bears taken in Katmai Park,
Alaska,” says artist Daniel Smith. “The cubs are quite small so this
would be in spring to early summer. These little guys will stay
with their mother for almost two years and won’t reach their full size
for another four years. Even the most hardened city-dweller knows about
the bond between a mother bear and her cubs. The mother’s extreme
protective instincts aren’t unfounded, especially concerning large
boars, which will attack and kill cubs. She may be swimming ahead
right now but her ears are cocked, listening for the paddles and grunts
from the swimmers just behind her. Getting accustomed to water is not
just play time for the young cubs. From late-August to mid-September,
the sockeye salmon are spawning in the Brooks River at Katmai National
Park and the bears are in and around the water eating fish for weeks,
putting on the pounds and fat in preparation for November hibernation.
Collectors know that no one paints wildlife in water the way Daniel
Smith does. A master of both his subject and his craft, his art is an
essential part of any wildlife art collection.
