“I paint the Plains People of the 18th and 19th century,” says artist Howard Terpning. “I look to capture the little moments in their lives that tell the story of their culture, of their people. I try to do it as honestly and accurately as I can.”

“Sharpshooters Closing on the Herd is, in a way, a play on words, since the warrior has a Sharps .50 caliber buffalo rifle in his hands. This was a very powerful rifle and highly prized by the buffalo people. It’s getting late in the day and they may have been following this herd for many miles. If one buffalo sensed danger and started to run, the whole herd would run, so caution was very important. The Blackfoot hunters are downwind of the buffalo herd and are judging the distance from their prey in hopes that they can get off a shot before they are spotted by the herd. They have a good vantage point on this rock outcropping so there may be meat in camp tonight.” ~ Howard Terpning

The expression of patient determination on the faces of these two hunters is the focus of this deceptively simple composition. With its stunning color palette, Sharpshooters Closing on the Herd uses the splendor of the physical world to accent the connection between the Plains Indian, the land and their survival.
