"The Hungry Hunters, Joe Beeler (American, born 1931)"

I think the painting that Joe Beeler created called The Hungry Hunters  is in my mind historical. These two hunters are trying to find food during the winter which happened a lot. If the people didn't have any body that would go out and risk their lives for their village or people, then every one would starve and no one would survive the freezing winters. In the painting, Beeler shows the two hunters looking all around for some sort of animal.This painting shows it's history because it shows how hard life was during the winter for many people living in that era.Some days they didn't have any food because there weren't any animals to hunt so the people had to starve. The painting shows how the hunters hunted desperately for food and clothing in the time depicted in the painting. They hunted with guns, but if they missed the animal they would scare it off and have to go to a different area to find an animal to kill. I think these two hunters are looking for an animal that can stand the cold weather they are in. All of the other animals that could be hunted have either migrated or have hibernated for the winter. So if i was to guess what they were hunting, I would say its either a fox or a rabbit. I think they are hunting these two animals because those two animals are the only things that I think could stand the cold of the winter.
