About
the painting:
|
||
|
"Bahd-ler" was the Shawnee name for Simon
Kenton, a well known frontiersman in the late 1700's. The Indian
name stood for "the man who's rifle was never empty".
In this painting, you find a pair of Shawnee Indian trackers looking
to capture Kenton, destined in their minds to be burned at the stake.

About
the artist:
|
||
|
Todd Price found early inspiration in his studies of American history and the diverse landscape and wildlife within. These things combined provide him with a clear view of the contrast between nature and what man has made of it. In regards to art, Todd feels that the goal of art is communication: visual and emotional. It is the emotions of the viewer as much as those of the artist that make a painting come alive. True art will stir the heart and emotions of the viewer. Todd has won several awards for his art and contributions to historical organizations. His paintings can be found in private collections throughout the United States and he continues to build on his existing portfolio and explore new topics and techniques. He first exhibited with Lord Nelson's Gallery in 2008. He has no formal training other than practicing the trade and studying the techniques of the old masters whose paintings inspire him as much today as they did 35 years ago while paging through the dusty art books in his school library. Todd is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio and currently resides in Ohio with his wife and two sons He has shown since 2008 at Gettysburg PA's annual History Meets the Arts show in June and his work may be found throughout the year at Lord Nelson's Gallery. |
