Artist's Comments

This was painted around 1989, actually, sometime that January.... there was a big snow where I was living in Louisiana, which is unusual to say the least. My street was iced over and I was stuck at home for about two days.....didn't have a computer back then so guess what I did? ;-)

Its maybe not my *best* watercolor work, but people seem to remember it more than others.

The old man represents an Native American Shaman, and for some reason it felt right to put him in a traditional ghost dancer type costume.

This painting is very large, dimensions are about 30 w x 36 h.

watercolor on cold press Arches paper.

I still love this. I love the owl. So glad you captured it and posted it. However I really must point out as great as this is, it really clashes with your gold lame bedspread.

For some reason I totally missed this the first time I visited your gallery. It's fantastic! I didn't know you were such a talented painter! I love the theme with the Native American Shaman. And snow in La.? Very unusual indeed! :D

Hehehe! Thanks, dear! and Thanks for the :+fav:!
Yup, Watercolors were my main media back then....before digital art( Ye Gods I am old ;-) ). Watercolors were cheaper than oils and acryilics, and I really like the spontanaity of them.
yep, snow in Louisiana! I was living just outside of Shreveport then, in a little town called Keithville. It snowed and iced over the little road my house was at the end of.....so I was stuck....for 3 days till it all melted away :-)
We used to get it there in North LA at least once a year.....back before the climate started the global warming stuff.
