History may be one of the biggest inspirations I draw from. I consider myself an old soul and often identify with time periods far from the present. I often think about what it would have been like to live in the wild west, living off the land, without technology as we know it. On top of that, I am fascinated with Native American culture and the age-old Juxtaposition of Cowboys against Indians. Who are we to determine the good guys? Stuck in between this battle, the Buffalo. A majestic creature that is widely overlooked in both importance and spiritual significance. I present to you "Pte Paha" roughly translated "Buffalo Mountain" in Native American.
The Native Americans believe Buffalo is a reminder that you are always provided for and that your attitude towards abundance influences the rest of this planet. It is knowing that abundance is present when all relations are honored as sacred and when gratitude is expressed to every part of creation. Buffalo symbolism is prayer, gratitude and praise. Praying for the needs of all creatures, for harmony and giving praise for the gifts you have already received.

The fact which I like most in the historical paintings are that these painting describe the whole subject itself despite the style. you can easily understand the story behind painting.

Very true, especially in the more traditional historical paintings. Many from the Civil War give the only accurate picture of what actually transpired. Even older can be the comparison of hieroglyphics in Egyptian tombs. Artists have been expressing themselves from the beginning of time! Thank you for your comment and continued support my friend!

@abrockman, such a lovely piece you have put out there.
The story line is perfectly put together, then the painting is so out of this world.
I love this statement you made;
"It is knowing that abundance is present when all relations are honored as sacred and when gratitude is expressed to every part of creation."
Thanks man!

I like the hazy quality of Pte Paha, it gives it the feeling of a far flung memory that you can only recall in glimpses. In that sense it's like Sunday Sailing: Something remembered, but far more distant in memory. Great work!

The story is undoubtedly fascinating that it is wonderful to read about history on this platform, without history we are nothing. History has identified us from the beginning of time, which characterizes each culture in particular. In fact I am writing a post about the history of the architecture of a building in my city, it is a topic that really fascinates me. Greetings and blessings.
