Blood Mountain was a sacred place for the Cherokee tribe, it is the highest summit within the Georgia state sector which lies upon the famous Appalachian Trail. A place where two tribes went to war; with a disputed history, mystery and debate surround Blood Mountain. It is said that after 100years of peace the Cherokee fought and won a fierce battle against the Creek.
Smoke clouds fill the skies above; reaching from the top of the mountain they signify danger. Under a full moon one half dwells beneath a grey shroud of darkness; the other half below a blood red sky, where the river runs red and the mountain runs deep... in blood. At Slaughter Gap the Cherokee were victorious: Although this brutal and bloody battle would make its own mark upon the earth.
Blood Mountain is a fascinating piece; conceptually, visually and historically. Contrasting the past with the present, the details contained within this impressive modern art work are not just brush strokes upon canvas: It records a place and a time; a bloody battle between the Cherokee and the Creek Indians. Fascinating to study both visually and historically, Blood Mountain canvas art is a must for the collector who is inspired by both.
