Description:

I attended a pow wow at Sinte Gleska university, South Dakota, outdoors under the blazing summer sun. The girls and women participating were all ages. Each so graceful, so light and energetic in her body. Spinning and stepping delicately with focus and precision, swirling her shawl with its long fringe, the dancers moved in tandem with Drums heatbeat. Like kimamah, the butterfly flitting above waving prairie grasses, there was harmony. All was sun, heat, sky, shimmering, spinning color. Many circles of life unfolded before us. Each individual, then the circle formed the dancers. There was the Drum and those playing it. The circle of singers. The circles of family and community. The circle of guests, like myself. The hoop of life was there, from babies to elders. Above were the circles of sun and moon. Connecting all was the Drum, the songs, the dancers. If you'd like your print signed, please contact me.

Hi, I put you on my watch list because I am interested in the way you paint. My neice's husband Dan Pate has a listing with Finartamerica and that is how I decided to post some work. Tou might be interested in his site. He works with water miscable oils which is similar in lok to water color. He works out of the spiritual perspective of Anthroposophy, as do I except that I was trained as a child in art and have a more modernist background. Stephen
