The Signal Fire 

"The Signal Fire" is a haunting oil painting by Ralph Blakelock, a prominent American artist known for his landscapes and Native American subjects. The painting depicts a lone Native American figure silhouetted against a moonlit sky, his hand raised in a gesture of communication. The setting is a dark and mysterious landscape, with a distant signal fire burning in the background, evoking themes of isolation, wilderness, and communication. The painting's atmospheric quality and evocative symbolism make it a compelling and memorable work.
