Description
Tree of Dreams...Homage in Death...Spirit Dance
I thought of all of those names for this. I wanted to somehow portray the Native American reverence for all life....the feeling of oneness with the Earth and the Great Spirit. To show their feeling of respect for a life well lived, and for their need to say "goodbye" to an old friend.
************************************************
I want to especially thank Orio (Jan Walter Schliep) for his wonderful "dead tree". The moment I first saw it, I fell completely in love with it. He has given us a great gift in this tree, and I just can't thank him enough. It was the tree of my dreams.
************************************************
The horse textures are by Lyne. Manes, tails, and grass done with Eye Candy.

This is so wonderful work. I am stunned by the beauty of the colors and light. Especially the way you make it change from these green to the yellow light really conveys an good atmosphere. Yes, a wonderful and very poetic tribute to the native americans. All models, textures etc. seem to fit very well.
