Description
Thanks for your comments on Little Deer. Today I want to show respect for the older Native Americans. In many cultures, including the American Indians, respect was given to the elders, because they were suppose to be the wisest based on their age and experience. Today in America and many modern world countries the elderly are put in homes instead of being respected and admired.
As you can see, I used the owl to symbolize the wisdom of this beautiful aging woman. It's sad to see good customs and traditions falling by the way-side as the people of the world become more self centered :(
I hope this pic brings home that point.
I so admire the spirit of our native friends. I wish that all people of this planet would acquire their spirit and appreciation of mother earth.
Enjoy Today

awesome and wonderful job.
I love this one too, especially the owl and elder. But, I do have to say that I would have liked to see it pulled back a bit. It seems a little too close up for me. Other than that, another fantastic piece. Aloha
Beautiful portrait and photography.

Oh gorgeous!!! What a superb portrait, so full of emotion!!! U've captured a 'lil piece of her so beautifully! And I can only agree with ur words here, sad indeed! :(
Very well said and very well done! Amen to the spirtuality and brotherhood of all men. Too bad we all can't see it. Excellent work!
I really found myself focusing on the partially obscured turquoise earring. There were many things attributed to various stones also. You know, someone once observed that wisdom is usually the result of prolonged periods of hardship, uncertainty, and fear. I respect those who have attained it, but don't know that I would wish it on myself!!!
Quite well said and superbly illustrated - as always, your artwork is exceptional. Well done indeed sir! V
