Artist's Comments

I am meeting a Medicine Woman this weekend, and wanted to honor her with a gift. I figured I would give her an East Coast styled image- since she is Coast Salish and would perhaps appreciate the variance in art style.

This is the Anishinabe[k] style of art. Sans the Raven portrait at the bottom right, of course. I delight in this style as well, and will be posting more in the future.

Sadly, the original didn't survive the day. I was working on the floor in my sister's living room- a high traffic area- and it ended up underfoot and destroyed when someone stepped on it and dropped their meal on it.
My fault really, if I finished the image and scanned it, I should have immediately put it in a safe place as opposed to back on the floor. :faint:

Gouache, acrylic paint, ink, and masking fluid.

Prints available

I really like the texture of the feathers.

He held up a printed copy of Luther Kane's "NFP," and said "I wish this was a true story."

It's spectacular! The detail put into the raven is wonderful, and the colors of the main image are very evocative! Sorry to hear about the original, though. Losing beautiful art is always sad...

Anii,
it's a beatiful picture, it's too bad about what happen to it though.

That's funny, I was sitting amongst a flock of these guys yesterday and wishing I had food to give them! XD

Anii,
Yah, but I should have expected it from him. When I was finished, the one outside began to laugh. Even my sister noticed!
Chii Meegwitch for the comment. :heart:

It was more like infuriating as opposed to sad... but at least I was granted a scan before it was ruined. It was my fault really, I should have remembered I am not home and couldn't leave ti on the floor. XD
