Shannon Crees and I filmed the making of this painting and it looks really cool! to see the video goto the mikoto website at mikoto.com.au
so excited about balck shirts I had to upload something! Over about 3 hours on a chilli winter night shannon and I filmed the making of this artwork. It is bright and colorful painting that depicts some of the mikoto characters in a fun and cosmic landscape. see this as a time-lapse at mikoto.com.au
This painting was fun as it was the first time I have tried used a spatula. / Can you find the fish? / I love painting over and over the canvas so you get unexpected elements.
This is similar to ‘In bloom’ in that it was an experiment with writing as a sort of creative warm up. / I like to merge the figure and background, so the words continue across her skin. you can buy original paintings from my website www.shannoncrees.com
This painting is I guess a technique study. / I used to write my diary entry’s onto canvas then paint over them. / I had forgotten about how nice it was because you just get lost in the words and it works like a warm up to painting. you can buy orginals from my website www.shannoncrees.com
Acrylic and collage on canvas. / This painting was done just for the pleasure of creating it!
This painting is very textured and incorporates a little mixed media. / I did it on board which i love because you can work roughly and quickly into the surface. / Blue always symbolizes sorrow for me. / She has a wood grain to her skin and becomes part of the leaves from which the birds are falling. / At this time I was thinking allot about the destruction of the natural environment around us and how much we are part of this moving and growing world. you can buy original paintings from my website www.shannoncrees.com
My fav quote …...
Onto a vast plain, an openness forever
Vsion of a People’s path through time and place.
From a Vision Quest a shaman talks to the Sacred White Buffalo whose legends foretell the Natives’ Messiah in the 7th generation. *for Roger who inspired me with confidence.
I did this painting in very thick acrylics. I thought of the Fancy Dance competition with all their regalia then decided to use color theory in their dance outfits so the battle is just not in the dance but in the colors.
Somewhere in the 1800’s the Cree meet to plan raids on the Blackfoot Tribes who were historical enemies.

Had a great adventure today – went for a drive to the forest for a ‘quick walk’ to take a few photos of the beautiful winter landscape – didn’t quite work out that way though!!! We ended up having to abandon the car in the forest car park as we couldn’t make it back up the frozen road to the top and the forest driveway that we had planned to return along was closed off with locked barriers – so ended up having to walk some extra 3 miles to the nearest village where we luckily caught the bus home! lol I’m sure someone suggested leaving the car at the top of the track and walking down …. still it was a fabulous day and have got some amazing shots in the forest to share! x This was taken along the road between Hamsterley Forest and Woodland Village on the walk back – must have been someone’s pride and joy once – and I’m sure those pigeon sheds would have held many a prize winning bird in their day.

They were able to assemble it in a day, as they used to follow the bison herds on the prairies. Much of their food, shelter, clothing and tools all came from the Bison. So when the herd moved, so did they. Many of their daily rituals revolved around nature. For example; The Tipi was made using 13 poles. The 13 poles in the tipi represents the 13 full moons we have in a given year….When you enter a tipi you go to the left and circle around in a clockwise direction. This represents the way of the sun…The door of the tipi always faces East, to meet the rising sun. The Plains Cree relied on the land to survive. It was sacred and they recognized that every living thing was of importance. Plus they only used what they needed. Things never went to waste. A good lesson we SHOULD all be following today. I serve as an interpreter at the Center, and this is part of the written teachings, as we take the children through their many nature programs.
