Grandfather's Vision Print

Watercolor painting of a Native American man inspired by a photo of a Nez Perce warrior, Three Eagles. The photo was taken by Edward Curtis in 1910. Three Eagles was an associate to Chief Joseph. This painting is one in a series of paintings I have been painting on Native American subjects and mythology. I am interested in painting Native American subjects because I see their traditional relationship to the earth and to the spiritual is something our modern world can learn from. In their stories, legends and tales there is an interconnectedness between the human world, nature, and spirit. Animals are often called relatives. There is respect for all, and that is embedded in how traditionally Native Americans see life: as a spiritual manifestation. In our modern world, however, we are deeply ingrained in a much more materialistic view of things where most things are there for us to acquire, to have, and to be used. What I see is that having things doesn't make us happy. Connection does and experiencing life as a vital and mysterious force. I believe that as children we had a stronger sense of this. Native American subjects remind me to reconnect with a more innocent and pure way of seeing things. Painting this man I intended to bring his softer qualities. Not to depict him as man of determination but rather expressing his faith, openness, and an overall noble quality.. I used Daniel Smith Extra Fine watercolor paint including some Daniel Smith iridescent colors that subtly enhance the artwork. On Arches watercolor paper, which is made of 100% cotton.
