"Wrapped In Tradition"

“Wrapped In Tradition” is an original and signed oil and acrylic painting.
Painted on gallery wrapped canvas.
As of 11-6-09 this piece has had 1058 views.

“Wrapped In Tradition” is another addition to my “Native American Woman Series”. Growing up near the Rosebud Reservation north of Valentine, Nebraska, made a great impression on me as a child. Now as an adult and an artist, I am able to revive my memories and include my artistic creative process in representing this culture.

My studio is located in Mesquite, Nevada where I create my art, work on commissioned pieces and teach private students.
Thank you for viewing my art.

A dynamic woman of great inner courage, disciplined to her purpose; yet she is unfulfilled , until LOVE comes to live within her. It ’s a remarkable portrait. Really hits me where I live.
Susan Bergstrom

Thank you so much for such inspiring, insightful and on target words about my lady in this painting. Although I portray these Native American Women in somewhat of a fantasy, I still try and bring across an attitude,a mood and a dignity….As you will see most of the women I paint, I strive to evoke the above mentioned.
Thank you again for your comments…

I love this work so much. I don’t know why I never commented on it, but I found it when I was going through the American Southwest Group images.
Susan Bergstrom replied

Thanks Barbara…and I was so shocked when I heard it was shot of the week!!!
BarbaraManis

Susan, I picked it!!!
Susan Bergstrom replied

Well that does it…you ARE my new best friend!!! LOL…thanks so much Barbara…when it was my turn to pick the shot of the week, I kept being drawn to your captures to choose… but with you being the avatar I didn’t know if that would be kosher…everyone that caught my eye was YOURS!!! So I picked one that was on the last page by a lady from South Africa, a transplant to the Southwest and it is just a blanket over a wooden Navajo ladder…It just spoke of the Southwest to me…since I couldn’t pick one of yours!!! LOL

Deborah Dillehay

Beautiful, but she seems sad and that makes me feel sad. I love the warm colors.
Susan Bergstrom replied

I find that most of the Native American Women I paint or draw have this stoic expression..having grown up around the Native Am. people and now near them where I live here in the desert…they seem to still have that sad look. Thanks for viewing and I appreciate your comment!

Many thanks! Appreciate your viewing!
armadillozenith

strong face, great colours. the whole thing works well together for a mood. it is a caring and sensitive face too, with far-seeing eyes.. I can tell that she draws strength from tradition as an active agent, not entrapped nor blinded by it.

To see this picture is to realize afresh the possibility of courage. Thanks for that!
Susan Bergstrom replied

So sorry for such a tardy reply…I don’t get on RB that much any more…I appreciate your viewing and kind thoughtful comment…
