Spearfish Creek Brilliance
This colorful painting is a miniature, measuring only 6 x 6″. It captures the reflected color of foliage in the rippling water of Spearfish Creek.
The Skirmish
Tales told of skirmishes past are hinted at in this painting. The imagery of U. S. Calvary soldiers being pursued by a Native Americans is inspired by the Ewers Ledger. The original artist of the ledger was a Northern Cheyenne, incarcerated in a fort in Montana Circa 1870 – 1880. The Ewers Ledger is named after the Calvary officer whose descendants inherited it.
Dream of Running Free
Imagery of a dream catcher is juxtaposed with imagery of a wild horse roundup in this watercolor painting by Bonnie Halsey-Dutton of Spearfish, SD. Images of Black Hills history infuse her work in a symbolic manner.
