Take a ride to the Old West: "It is the 1850’s at Chadron Creek in northwestern Nebraska," say Terpning. "The peace is yet to be shattered by the Sioux Wars, and these Brulé Sioux on horseback have arrived to trade hides for blankets and such ‘white man’ trinkets as kettles, axes, powder, and guns"
Terpning’s extensive knowledge of the plains and the lives of these Native Americans gives his paintings a resonance like no other, while his consummate artistry brings the canvas to life. The way the grass in the foreground frames the mud, puddles, overgrown earth, and the trading post logs in the background is quietly wonderful.
"The sod cabin was typical for the area," Terpning explains. " it took fewer logs to build, and a sod structure provided added insulation and security in a tense time. But overall, this image also shows that cooperation was always possible when people tried to understand each other."
