Description

Hunting Lodges Northern Plains, a colorful people who lived life following their givers of life, nurturing their habitat and caring for the creatures that gave them sustenance. Tepees were good houses for people who were always on the move. Plains Indians migrated frequently to follow the movements of the buffalo herds. An entire Plains Indian village could have their tepees packed up and ready to move within an hour. There were fewer trees on the Great Plains than in the Woodlands, so it was important for Plains tribes to carry their long poles with them whenever they traveled instead of trying to find new ones each time they moved. Historically, Plains Indian women had distinctly defined gender roles that were different from, but complementary to, men's roles. They typically owned the family's home and the majority of its contents. In traditional culture, women tanned hides, tended crops, gathered wild foods, prepared food, made clothing, and took down and erected the family's tepees. In the present day, these customs are still observed when lodges are set up for ceremonial use, such as at powwows. With this series of paintings, the task was to create several pieces that held very bright and bold colors and that the setting of the paintings depict the vast array of colors enjoyed on the northern plains and western mountains which the seasonal changes bring to the wildlife, and people who lived there and effects on their lives through out the year. Hand painting on silk allows the colors to pop, a depth in the silk and transparency can be achieved that is most satisfying to me as an artist.

*** My interest in depicting truly American Art has been a life long journey.
Anderson R. Moore is a Silk artist, striving to evoke emotional responses to her paintings and other works through the paint brush. Most of her paintings are large works, and color is important in telling the story.
I appreciate all the collectors and wonderful comments and discussions on all of my art. I have recently had these works re-scanned with better technology to provide my clients a more crisp true to life viewing experience of my art work. The only place that a print of this painting can be legally purchased is from me off of Fine Art America or directly from me the artist.
