Solitude - morning meditation by western artist Howard Terpning available from Snow Goose Gallery.

 

Yellows and whites blend with earth tones to set the tranquil tone. The sun's light bathes the landscape and accents its loveliness. A Northern Plains Indian sits quietly on his pony. A second horse on a lead drinks calmly from the stream in which they stand. Even the stream is at peace. Terpning has captured a moment of stillness, perhaps a moment for pondering life's meaning. What is this warrior thinking? Will this be one of only a few quiet moments in his day? "I wanted to capture how much the Native people enjoyed the beauty and serenity of the land," says Terpning. He has done just that.
