For Just a Moment *SOLD

 I confess, I sketched this painting out early this Summer and just - this week- got around to finishing it. I had the scene in my head as summer colors but the inspiration that is surrounding us of brilliant fall colors got to me AND as the layers built...the painting turned to fall. Do you see the little bird content to be in the tree?

Dancing Spirit

Dancing Spirit started out as a sketch that I had in mind for an Ethnic Festival image. Ethnic Fest is my favorite Walker, Minn. Festival. It is filled with dance, music, food and lots of colorful sites and sounds - all based on Ethnic traditions and costumes. My sketch turned into an illustration which did become an Ethnic Festival button this year and the Leech Lake Area Chamber of Commerce printed the design on shirts for the festival. 

The inspiration for this painting and design comes from our beautiful local Anishinaabe fancy shawl dancers. For the painting, I placed the dancer near the water and grass - where she is celebrating the beauty of this area.
