I decided to paint two things that don't exist in any meaningful numbers anymore: a buffalo wolf and the wilderness prairie of the Black Hills. That's a place I only see in my dreams. </p><p>Lewis and Clark wrote that those wolves accompanied the great herds of bison, like shadows on the Great Plains. It was a great sea of grass, terrifying in its size, and many people got turned around and swallowed up in it. Some resorted to traveling by night, guided by the stars, as if they were on a ship. Can you imagine? </p><p>Enjoy - and see if you can feel that non-stop wind blowing.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWYTKG8u4mjewvGSlMY-_QKTQWgcNGZPZHYnTLltWfucVa7vlIVLx60GDuScR36vkykkTOC1AH9IbhhFdV3Ib_QijWb14AWeucUh8kB2voDhhhRbDwDtfHKs46T8LdBlkO_Duw3EM4x-rKbNqE5UAtfs_D9k_By86xPgZN4OFRAROdBRNAm1Wba6kRRbe/s2184/IMG_2599.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1659" data-original-width="2184" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWYTKG8u4mjewvGSlMY-_QKTQWgcNGZPZHYnTLltWfucVa7vlIVLx60GDuScR36vkykkTOC1AH9IbhhFdV3Ib_QijWb14AWeucUh8kB2voDhhhRbDwDtfHKs46T8LdBlkO_Duw3EM4x-rKbNqE5UAtfs_D9k_By86xPgZN4OFRAROdBRNAm1Wba6kRRbe/s320/IMG_2599.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Jenny Niemeyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17542549498526431773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724412510641995617.post-17141744713263292522024-01-21T09:56:00.001-07:002024-01-21T09:56:27.470-07:00<p>I am fascinated by Indian ledger art, and the tragedies that caused their invention. I have ventured into my own version of it using diaries and reports accumulated by my husband who helped with the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone and Idaho back in the 1990s, a topic of tragedy and hope all its own. These and others are for sale on eBay if you are interested. Even better, go read about the prisoners at Ft. Marion in Florida at the end of the Indian Wars. Our country has a hidden history that is not taught in schools.

Now to avoid coughing while I'm painting tiny things like pupils....<p></p><p>This is a shot of my drawing board (that I'm getting back to, heh heh) where the soldiers, Indians and civilians show up to be painted, one at a time. It can be kind of overwhelming sometimes, being in the company of all these people whose lives were over so suddenly, and who all share the same time of death, generally. It feels sad and overwhelming at times, and I find myself having to leave the studio. I had an idea when I first started this project that it would help ease their unrest, but I'm not so sure. I think sometimes they simply enjoy that someone is thinking about them, but rest in peace? Uh, no.</p><p>I'm three quarters of the way through F Company right now.

This handsome guy is probably a member of the 10th Cavalry - an all-black unit (among others) during the Indian Wars period. You can see the crossed sabers of a cavalry unit on the hat he holds, but it is not Dorman. No photo of Isaiah Dorman is known to exist, although there are a few grainy, blurry images of a man purported to be him.</p><p>Dorman, the only black man in the 7th Cavalry regiment, was fluent speaker of the Sioux language(s.) He was a fascinating guy. At the battle he was a horribly mutilated. You can read more about him here: <a href="https://www.nps.gov/libi/learn/historyculture/isaiah-dorman.htm">https://www.nps.gov/libi/learn/historyculture/isaiah-dorman.htm</a></p><p>I haven't gotten to Dorman yet in my painting project, but I wanted to put this up for all to see. I asked FindAGrave to remove this photo from their site, which administrators did. </p><p>Thanks for looking. </p>Jenny Niemeyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17542549498526431773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724412510641995617.post-73636775521168609662023-03-22T19:58:00.008-06:002023-03-27T10:52:16.999-06:00Be a teacher.<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-LqHl6dW8b9bOYjXRz4JWTYcyWt2-a9vqaN_aotT0IxnrfB-JW9o8GMWTNcFMipxgssiSFlu3Gch_fL2sOadkafNiNqPJG4H2leKCjBYG1b2ayTtiOXtXIHD3EKFm6dLrgcw25ard0ChFWJLWvGXl_4Qvm_B9m8o4iDE-8VROPKca4z7NPuciX-2sLQ/s4032/IMG_1666.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-LqHl6dW8b9bOYjXRz4JWTYcyWt2-a9vqaN_aotT0IxnrfB-JW9o8GMWTNcFMipxgssiSFlu3Gch_fL2sOadkafNiNqPJG4H2leKCjBYG1b2ayTtiOXtXIHD3EKFm6dLrgcw25ard0ChFWJLWvGXl_4Qvm_B9m8o4iDE-8VROPKca4z7NPuciX-2sLQ/s320/IMG_1666.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div>I had an interesting experience today that left me remembering the words of my late friend, Fred Wagner III: "To hell with them."<p></p><p>Fred was an expert on the Battle of Little Bighorn. I mean an EXPERT. But although he'd spent decades studying and writing about the battle and was smarter than hell, he was humble - and kind. He encouraged me to push through any flack I might receive about my portrait paintings. There would be a lot, he said. "To hell with them," I can still hear him say, "I will bring the roof down on anyone who criticizes your work!" I wish he was still here. I needed him today! He died in December after a long illness.</p><p>I kept Fred's words in mind today when I engaged in a simple discussion online over the name of the river after which this battle was named. It was no big deal, in hindsight, but it hit me the wrong way. I was being taken to task for asking a simple question on a forum of experts. I remember reading questions posed on this forum that Fred answered patiently, always reminding everyone that when the "experts" become too high and mighty to answer questions and help others they have failed in the very reason the forum exists in the first place. Well it happened today. I was chided for asking a dumb question. In a way I knew that eventually this would happen because I ask a lot of questions on the forum. Few of them are answered to my satisfaction, which I suppose means my guess is as good as theirs, yet I always hope someone will offer a plausible answer or educated guess. It's a fascinating place to read all about the battle, and there are some great minds on there, but I get my Irish up when experts try to make themselves seem smarter by making others seem dumber. Fred, who was a commander in Vietnam, would request they not let the door hit them in the ass....</p><p>So my message to all of you today is that if you are an expert in your particular field, don't assume that others can know what <i>you</i> know by osmosis. If you answer a question that you think is dumb, be the better person and do a generous and patient job explaining things. I guarantee you it will make everyone - including you - feel better about it. And the person who learned something from you will thank you instead of blogging about you.</p>Jenny Niemeyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17542549498526431773noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724412510641995617.post-64742449629321178622023-03-06T19:30:00.004-07:002023-03-06T19:40:21.315-07:00Do you know about Indian ledger drawings?<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjT7wQqWGC3aG3W9Fl5vdSdTUNxpraqJWnuA-SaZIThXV4G7CQRq-ohzi_80PPasn6tir5rOSpnxNX1UGPvQd319v1Pfwt-y_vtRqLqrOGYzNCMG8eDkp99uXt29KcLVwYDjnr3SQ_1X1wpeRDaN_TmyrJDDU_HRrYjR0t5Som_MT3LGQVcjGeHzFOsg/s2551/IMG_1705.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1817" data-original-width="2551" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjT7wQqWGC3aG3W9Fl5vdSdTUNxpraqJWnuA-SaZIThXV4G7CQRq-ohzi_80PPasn6tir5rOSpnxNX1UGPvQd319v1Pfwt-y_vtRqLqrOGYzNCMG8eDkp99uXt29KcLVwYDjnr3SQ_1X1wpeRDaN_TmyrJDDU_HRrYjR0t5Som_MT3LGQVcjGeHzFOsg/s320/IMG_1705.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Let me say right off that this is NOT a ledger drawing, This is a quick similarity I sketched last night. I had been practicing with my fountain pen and thought that the page would be a good one for ledger-style art. Ledger art is the exclusive domain of certain American Indian tribes, and its really wonderful.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;">I'm greatly influenced by old pieces and the style of ledger art. Here's the Wiki definition, which is a good one: Ledger art is a term for narrative drawing or painting on paper or cloth, predominantly practiced by Plains Indian, but also from the Plateau and Great Basin. Ledger art flourished primarily from the 1860s to the 1920s. A revival of ledger art began in the 1960s and 1970s. The term comes from the accounting ledger books that were a common source of paper for Plains Indians during the late 19th century.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Most of the surviving and most famous ledger art was produced by Indians who were imprisoned at places like Fort Marion in St. Augustine, Florida or otherwise captive on reservations. Much of it was produced for tourists but some was a way to depict life events and stories, as these tribes had no written language. I think it's fascinating and beautiful, particularly the old ones that were made before the commodification of ledger art.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Wikipedia does a good job of explaining the finer points of this unique art form. Indian ledger artists today make some pretty amazing pieces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ledger_art<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;">And that's my post for today. In the future I will be making more of these little gems using some really interesting stuff I discovered in my husband's recycling bin. It has to do with golden eagles.

Baker had amassed a fair amount of drama in life by the time he was killed in Battle of Little Bighorn.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">He was born December 3, 1848 in Pope County, Illinois and worked there as a farmer, likely on his family’s 240 acres originally purchased by his grandfather, Benjamin Baker.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">On his 20th birthday, William married Nancy Ellen Broadway, who bore his daughter, Minnie June Baker in October 1869. He and Nancy Ellen, however, were not living together in 1870, with William remaining on his family’s farm. Nevertheless, in January 1870 William quietly married a second time to Dianah Brown (this was illegal under Illinois law, and carried a penalty of up to two years in prison.) Once Dianah became obviously pregnant William skipped town and enlisted in the Army. On September 26, 1870, Baker reported for duty at Fort Riley, Kansas, the heart of Indian territory, having been assigned to Battery E, 3rd U.S. Artillery. Meanwhile, in December 1870 Dianah bore William’s second daughter, Gertrude Baker. The following June, William’s first wife Nancy Ellen was granted a divorce from the absent William. She remarried less than two weeks later.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">Although the Army discharged him September 1, 1875 after five years of service, William may have considered the hornet’s nest back home when he re-enlisted 30 days later. Soldiers who re-enlisted within 30 days of an honorable discharge were given a pay raise, so William had a monetary incentive as well. William was assigned to Company E, 7th U.S. Cavalry at Fort Totten, Dakota Territory. On the day of the Battle of the Little Bighorn Baker was on temporary duty with the scout detachment. Like nearly everyone else William’s body was never identified on the battlefield but his remains were likely buried where they were first encountered. In 1881 all known battlefield burials were moved to a mass grave on Last Stand Hill.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">An Army pension in William’s name was claimed on Christmas Eve 1877 on behalf of his first daughter, eight-year-old Minnie June. William’s second wife, Dianah, remarried and by 1880 his second daughter, Gertrude Baker, had been adopted by her new stepfather.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p>Jenny Niemeyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17542549498526431773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724412510641995617.post-76386186828985623352023-02-14T10:36:00.003-07:002023-03-24T16:56:22.622-06:00Myles Keogh<p>Elisabeth Kimber, a Little Bighorn historian in England wrote extensively about Capt.

The chance for adventure and freedom. That's what a lot of soldiers who joined the Regular Army after the Civil War were thinking. They were disappointed later when they were assigned to garrison the frontier. Cavalry soldiers deserted more frequently than infantry soldiers because they had horses and could get away faster and go farther. The desertion rate was tremendous and caused a lot of meetings back in DC. They weren't as worried about losing men as they were about losing horses and equipment. Posts tried improving food and paying more, and that helped a bit, but the bottom line was that post duty was mind-numbingly boring. Indians didn't try and attack large posts, such as Fort Lincoln, so there wasn't much in the way of military action unless the men were out on a campaign or a foray of some sort. Many of the soldiers were illiterate and received permission at larger posts (which had officers, their wives and children) to attend school if only to have something to occupy their minds. Scurvy set in because of the limited diet of beef and bread, essentially. This led to budgeting for seeds and creating the post garden, often 10-20 acres or more, which was tended by one or several soldiers specifically assigned to it. Before the invention of the post garden one garrison commander ordered those with scurvy to head out into the prairie and eat their fill of wild onions. It helped cure scurvy but some were killed by Indians while they were munching away. What a life! Private Shea from England was just one of many men who lived like this and was ultimately killed at the Battle of Little Bighorn.</p><p>Learn more and ask questions at the <a href="https://lbha.proboards.com" target="_blank">Little Bighorn Alliance</a> and <a href="https://amertribes.proboards.com" target="_blank">American-Tribes</a> sites.

Several Indians who witnessed the battle or took part in it said Foley, the standard-bearer for C Compan, shot himself while galloping away. He is reported to have ripped the flag - or more properly called a guidon - from its staff and stuffed it in his shirt. The mystery is why wasn't it taken by Indians after Foley's death? Maybe it was overlooked. Maybe his body was not approached or examined. Well, obviously the guidon <i>was</i> overlooked because it exists today, although its in very poor condition. It was auctioned in 2010 by Sotheby's for $2.3 million. It's called the Culbertson Flag after the soldier who found it on Foley. It really should be called the Foley-Culbertson Flag, but that's just my opinion. Take a look at an NPR story about the sale <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2010/12/10/131973496/custer-s-last-flag-bags-2-3-million-at-auction" target="_blank">here</a>. Archivists at the battlefield say it's in such a state that it's little more than dust. It was purchased by an American collector. I would love to see it.</p><p>Here is my painting of Foley who was only about 26 years old when he died. His is quite a story.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9CTFhG952f93SmDlGNj7lHsh8OBGl6831o-w0TeFDKYh0wcv8T0UA-aMMENGXcgGn3CDTU8BLY4Rd1XDuiAbVJ93J_c5FkSqX94n_R9yPmC68kfDsFHGWD9nYn0skTscu5_D1eqRKw4EOSg07lTp0B3meCbck8cUKAY5NwxIn-gcVVkSxm0rRkMCzw/s3227/IMG_1622.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3227" data-original-width="2277" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9CTFhG952f93SmDlGNj7lHsh8OBGl6831o-w0TeFDKYh0wcv8T0UA-aMMENGXcgGn3CDTU8BLY4Rd1XDuiAbVJ93J_c5FkSqX94n_R9yPmC68kfDsFHGWD9nYn0skTscu5_D1eqRKw4EOSg07lTp0B3meCbck8cUKAY5NwxIn-gcVVkSxm0rRkMCzw/w326-h462/IMG_1622.jpeg" width="326" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Jenny Niemeyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17542549498526431773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724412510641995617.post-70951730452725266042023-01-02T09:33:00.009-07:002023-01-02T11:28:41.887-07:00Searching for the real Mitch Bouyer<p> I've been researching the individuals for my Little Bighorn project and have discovered some interesting, disappointing and disturbing things.

It's almost overwhelming, but not quite.</p><p>I feel the need to humanize a battle that is so often described in terms of maneuvers. But mostly I want to honor the dead - more than 300 of them. It will give life to the dead, an idea that sparked in me many years ago when I first visited the battlefield. I felt uneasy when I was there. I felt the ghosts, like something wasn't finished. So I am giving them faces and stories. And then maybe they can rest.</p><p>No one knows what most of these guys looked like (very few photos exist,) but I do have enlistment descriptions and stories that guide my paintbrush. Biographies, letters, telegrams and eye-witness accounts will accompany these faces.

I painted this in the plein air style while on a recent trip to New Mexico - one of my favorite places!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my traveling companions, who had taken a horseback ride up past this little cemetery, bought this from me as a memento of our trip. I'd love to hear from anyone who paints plein air with acrylics! It's kind of hard to keep them from drying out.</div>

Judith was a wild wolf that I'd known personally since 2007. She had avoided harm until October 2013 when a hunter in Idaho shot her and her puppy. Don't ask me why. Some things in this world make no sense. Judith can frolick to her heart's content in the hereafter. There's no one to bother her now.</div>

I made a cross-country trip last year and drove through the Oklahoma panhandle. The scars from the Dust Bowl are still plain to see. I think miniature paintings are like memories; glimpses that you go around thinking about, and their size makes them even more alluring. <br />

If you look closely, riverbeds and streambeds often show the tracks of the animals that have explored them or followed their course. I've done quite a few of these on wood (collected from my studio project last year.) Enjoy, and look closely the next time you are next to a stream! The colors are much better in real life (everyone says this, no?) They contain a few pieces of broken mirror and I've used some metallic/pearl paint to mimick the shimmer of water. They hang vertically by eyehooks and a small chain. I've also done some that are quite large with lots of broken mirror.Jenny Niemeyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17542549498526431773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724412510641995617.post-8550361882348402232013-03-07T12:01:00.002-07:002023-01-02T11:35:55.784-07:00Can you feel the colors?<h2>
