Description

"But the old Lakota was wise. He knew that a man's heart, away from nature, becomes hard; he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans, too. So he kept his children close to nature's softening influence." Chief Luther Standing Bear - Oglala Sioux I've been feverishly sketching the last few months in between terragening.. :) So thought I would share one of a current series I'm working on. Yes I'm still doing Fae and those you'll see soon. In between this and that. My deepest thanks to you all for your continued support and encouragements. Both here in 2d art and in Terragen. Your words always encourage me to new and different aspects of my art. Small note: this is my first true 'portrait' sketched from a photograph I found in a Native Peoples Magazine a friend gave me. She is also of the People. As always, Pat

He is majestic! The massacre at Wounded Knee was so very tragic. Many lives were lost. I believe they would be very happy with this portrait... Karen :)
