The canvas board size is 9.75 x 28 inches, framed size is 20 x 38.25 inches. Custom framed in a wooden brown golden frame, with fabric and gold liner. It is in excellent condition. About the artist: ELIZABETH DAVEY LOCHRIE was born in Deer Lodge Montana, July 1, 1890; she was educated in Butte schools and received her art education at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 1911. During 1924-1925 she painted eighteen children's murals for the Montana State Hospital. After 1932, Lochrie specialized in Native American portraits, particularly of Blackfeet tribal members, having produced more than a thousand watercolors, oils, murals and sculptures. She was adopted by the Blackfeet and given the name "Netchitaki" which translates as "Woman Alone In Her Way." "Yesterday I painted all day," Elizabeth wrote in a 1932 letter to her family upon Glacier National Park stationary, "Gypsy and Bull Child posed two hours in the afternoon and we had a long visit beside. They wanted to take Son and I into the tribe and give us names. She was adopted by the Blackfeet and given the name "Netchitaki" which translates as "Woman Alone In Her Way." Elizabeth returned almost every summer till the late 1940's to her adopted people. In her notes from the summer of 1942 she describes her visit to Sun Dance at Heart Butte Montana "The medicine woman never raises her eyes, no water for four days save a sip at sundown and no food." Swims Under and Mink Woman broke a green sapling about six feet stripped all but a tuft at top. It signifies part of the Beaver Crown and means fertility." In the summer of 1945 she tells again of being part of this world, "I took part in Feather Dance in Fish Robe Lodge. He came and asked me as they were having prayers for a little girl recovering; she had been in the Great Falls hospital for several months. Fish prayed, we all bowed our heads, about sixteen of us. Then came the feather dance and he painted my face. We used a handful of sticks decorated with three feathers each and three bones like in stick game but with no gambling Women side against men, we won three straight which took three hours. I sat at the head by Fish as chief guest, a great honor. Elizabeth for the rest of her life visited with many tribes throughout Montana, Wyoming and the West both to paint and learn about people. Her palette and brush captured a time when most Americans was unaware that the "old ways" were still alive. One could not have seen this without an open invite; she was truly "Woman Alone In Her Way." She left behind a body of work which upon the back of almost every one is written a story that allows one to be know those people that she captured through this developed bond. Today when her works are displayed it is not uncommon for Native Americans to come and show their children their grandfathers and grandmothers. They talk about the objects in the hands, the clothes that are worn, and this is one of the greatest compliment an artist may ever receive. Elizabeth died in the company of her family in Ojai, California in 1981.

Limited hand signed edition of 108/250 hand embellished canvas prints. Hand signed in gold pen lower right "Jack Terry 108/250" Also signed in print "Jack Terry 1988" Ink Stamp on Canvas "Jack Terry hand Painted Canvas Print" Brass plaque center on linen "Home From the Fair" Image, 16"H x 20"W Frame, 24"H x 28"W x 2.5"D Jack Terry’s paintings evoke emotion in the viewer encompassing subject matter, use of color, mood and grace of light. He is one of the most collected artists of our time. Jack was born in the west Texas town of Sweetwater in 1952 and began his art career as a young child, winning his first of many awards at the age of nine. A fourth-generation Texan, he credits much of his inspiration to his maternal Grandfather, Bill Mason, a rancher who cowboyed on some of the last cattle drives of the west and his paternal Grandmother, Etna Terry, who began painting late in life and welcomed young Jack to participate in the fun. Six-time world champion Cowboy Larry Mahan has said of Jack, “Terry captures the West the way it was and the way it should be. He is one of the finest artists of our day and a pretty good cowhand to boot…”. A graduate of the University of Texas, Jack studied studio art, anatomy, design and journalism while displaying his paintings in various galleries throughout the state. Upon graduation, he began painting full-time, taking every opportunity to day-work on various ranches in search of inspiration, new subject matter and authenticity. In 1976, at the young age of 24, Jack Terry was named Bicentennial Artist in Texas. He was honored with a one-man show in the state Capitol Rotunda. His portrait of President Lyndon Johnson was commissioned for publication on the Texas Bicentennial Calendar that same year. In 1999, Harvest House Publishers invited Jack to write and illustrate his first book. “The Great Trail Ride”, a collection of 14 inspirational short stories. The great success of that first title led to eight more books which sold over one million copies. In 2008 First Lady Laura Bush invited Jack to the White House for the Holiday Celebration. He painted a Christmas tree ornament representing the state of Texas. In 2010 the United States Army commissioned a painting honoring the First Air Calvary Division and the brave men and women who have served from the historic beginning of the U.S. Calvary, Viet Nam and the Middle East. Limited edition reproductions were signed by Jack, Medal of Honor Recipient Bruce Crandall from the Viet Nam War, and General Dick Cody, Vice Chief of Staff, U.S. Army. Jack responded about this special occasion in 2010, “After months of research, flying time and researching films and most importantly sitting at the same table with these heroes whose commitment, loyalty and sacrifice to our great nation have made this the most meaningful painting I have ever done”. Jack Terry’s paintings hang in prominent collections throughout the country. The King Ranch...
