Pencil sketch. i used to take care of Washan (Lakota for Spirit Horse). His owners just left him (he was like 25 years old when i met him) in his stall every day so i volunteered to take him out for exercise almost every day. Just walked him around so he could feel the sun & eat the grass. He was a very gentle & loving Horse. i think i knew him for 3 years til he passed away. The other Horses in the picture were his stall mates. people should not have a Horse unless they are willing to let them live as a Horse should, be out in the open, but have access to shelter, but never should they be cooped up in a dark stall. Now i feed a Horse on a daily basis, just take him carrots & usually bagels, or other treats i can find for him. Many other people feed him treats too, we are the only companions he has. Horses need other Horses for companions, they are herd Animals. i am still trying to find a rescue group to take Renfield (what i named him, his real name is Feston, he is an ex race Horse stud), & place him where he will have other Horses. He must be close to 30 years old & has been alone close to 15 years, probably much longer. people are so thoughtless when it comes to Animals. Animals need to be around their own kind, they feel incomplete & lonely if not.

These lovely wolves are protected in a preserve called the Lakota Wolf Wildlife Preserve, in Columbia NJ. They are beautiful creatures, and the perserve gives them a home in an otherwise hostile environment where wolves are much maligned. Sure they live by eating chickens and some live stock but truth be told Bears are probably more responsible for the things wolves are blamed for. Wolves live there lives in a community, much like humans they mate for life, and protect their young. They morn their partners death much like us. And are competitive for the top spot in the pack. (Well I know some humans just like that!). If you live close to NJ or Penn. it’s worth a visit. They have regular tours and Photo tours, I took these shots on the regular tour, although the other tour is probably better for a serious photography experience with wolves. Part of the proceeds from the profits of the sales of these prints will be donated to the organization. Camera info: Canon 5D with a 75-300 zoom lens attached.

‘Akita mani yo’—These Lakota words touch my spirit….as we walk through this world, how much there is to observe…..tiny, beautiful forms of life right there in our path…...to see, to honor and to appreciate as an expression of the Divine in our world…. This beautiful little mushroom was peeking up from the grasses of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado….pointed out to me by my observant friend, Shilohlin, as we walked together in nature. /

‘Cankpe Opi’ is Lakota for Wounded Knee…..the site of a massacre which occurred on December 29, 1890 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. On that bleak winter morning, the Sioux chief Big Foot and some 350 of his followers camped on the banks of Wounded Knee creek. They were surrounded by 500 US troops who were to disarm and arrest them. Sitting Bull had been murdered just days before. During a meeting to try and come to a truce, a shot from an unknown party was fired; this anonymous shot started the massacre. Indians ran to get their guns and defend themselves, but the surrounding army cut them all down. Over 300 Sioux were killed that day, and the massacre officially ended the Indian Wars but began the years of recrimination against the US government for their brutality toward the Indians. In the late 90’s, we visited the Wounded Knee Monument and it was one of the most chilling experiences I have ever had. Sitting there on the grass outside the fenced area which holds many gravesites, looking out over that valley, I could feel the strong Spirits of the Ancestors. I heard them singing and the beating of the drums permeated my being…I will never forget that feeling…. Today, sitting here in my home on this most beautiful winter’s day in the Rocky Mountains where I am safe and warm, I thought of that awful day and was compelled to create some art to honor those who died there that day in the snow covered hills of South Dakota….

This is a detail phototgraph of one of my Pastel and Prismacolor Pencil Drawings… “LaKota Child. / Drawn on card stock, acid free, bonded artist drawing paper. This is again a study in just lines and blocks of colorand blending. I try and get my students to see just the line of a shape, and blocks of color that you put close together and blend the harsh lines. This is the classic “Right Brain” approach to just trying to get something on canvas or drawing paper…stop naming what you see and just draw the shapes and the apply the colors. “LaKota Child” is another in a series I have started by request, for my private students so they have easier access to my collection in detail for study. / My Fine Art and Photograph Studio is located in Mesquite, Nevada. / Thank your for viewing my art.

‘Tatanka Ska’ means White Buffalo in Lakota. Buffalo represents Prayer and Abundance….the herds provided food, clothing and shelter to the Plains People. The Medicine of Buffalo is about honoring all that Mother Earth provides for us. It is about the understanding that abundance is ours when we honor all Life as sacred and give thanks for all that we have been given. Buffalo inspires us to connect with the true meaning of Life. The White Buffalo is especially sacred to the Lakota people, as its story & prophecy have been told and retold for generations among them. Legend of the White Buffalo

Tokala is a Lakota word for Fox. This morning before dawn Fox visited us under the almost Full Moon. Maggie was barking and when I went out to check on her, I saw her friend the Fox just a few feet on the other side of the fence in the street…. Maggie was running along the fence and the Fox would come close, then quickly turn and cross the street, hiding behind some mailboxes….then appear again and the chase was on….I walked down to the fence and watched them for about 10 minutes having a great time together, thinking that if things were different and Maggie was free that they would most likely run and play and tumble together, no fence between them…. It was quite a gift to see them interact…..and so I created this to honor Fox, who teaches us how to use the art of camouflage in order to blend in with our surroundings when we choose not to be seen or noticed.
