“A painting of three Native Americans on horseback from the 19th century is a common theme in my work, and I am always inspired to search for something special in each new piece. A great start often involves a beautiful and dramatic western landscape, in this case one dominated by an intense and distant sky. When thinking of a title for this particular painting, the serious attitude and iconic look of the three warriors led me to imagine that they were on an intense search... And knowing that finding buffalo was always necessary for their survival, I felt led to call the painting The Search for Tatonka.” - C. Michael Dudash, CA
