The Scout - Plains Indian Scout
Craig Tennant is a highly accomplished and a top contemporary
Western Artist, whose work is steadily increasing in interest and
value. As a Master Signature Member of Oil Painter's of
America, he shares this distinction with the likes of other
contemporary masters such as Mian Situ, Howard Terpning, and Ray
Swanson.
This is an amazing and beautiful piece of artwork
done by this artist. It is typical to the incredibly detailed
and historically accurate period attire he employs in his subject
matter. The painting is housed in an equally impressive rustic
wood frame that compliments the piece.
Completed in 1997, we acquired acquired this from
the original owner who purchased it directly from a Denver gallery
in the late 90's.
