The Reminder, by Lee Teter
."This painting is intended to be part of a collection of images I am putting together to tell the story of the rendezvous system and early exploration of the Rocky Mountains. All stories must have a beginning and this painting is that beginning. The famous mountain men of the West all came from the east. Before they had completely adapted to the West their world looked like the one in this painting.
Even before 1810, long before the era of the rendezvous, there are accounts of trappers exploring the Rocky Mountains. As time passed and experience altered their methods of survival they looked different and thought different.
Their journeys were business ventures, or at least that was the excuse they often gave themselves. Goodbyes were intense because chances of a safe return were not good. And greetings after a long absence were sometimes awkward; much could happen during the years apart. This painting could represent a greeting or a goodbye and I leave that to the viewer."
