by Martin Grelle
| "The
River's Gift" was painted for the Coeur d'Alene Auction in 2007. As
with many Grelle paintings, it has strong narrative in addition to rich,
vibrant color. Indeed, what is the gift that the river has given to
these braves? And how many times through the years have such gifts been
given to unsuspecting recipients? This strongbox looks like it may
contain a white man's fortune, but of what use to the braves out in the
middle of an untamed West?
