> ARTIST NANCYJANE HUEHL INSPIRED BY SOUTH DAKOTA
As published in the Epoch Times, Monday, May 10, 2010:

"A Custer State Park artist-in-residence sees beauty in the prairie."

By John Christopher Fine Created: Dec 10, 2009

(If you check out the Epoch Times article (see links on this page) you'll see why Nancyjane Huehl is one of the South Dakota Artists you should know. We became acquainted on the 'plein air painting' trail, and I have benefited from her painting wisdom and advice. She does have an artist Blog now- NANCYJANE HUEHL and invites you to visit from time to time. Steve Randall, SDAN Moderator)

Nancyjane says, "Between the Wild Sage is sold. My bison paintings move faster than I can get reference work- i.e. photos and sketch's for my studio. I love these animals, my earliest paintings where watercolor copies I made after George Caitlin, when he visited the very prairie I grew up on and still own near the 1832 Ft. Pierre Chouteau. Caitlin is the first representational artist - to visit and paint on site in SD. (Caitlin was not the first artist as there have always been many wonderful artworks created by America's " First People". The watercolors I created as a young girl where on the back of decommissioned Hi-Way and I-90 blueprints."
