5 - Paintings on Canvas | Monday 25 May 2009
Media: Carved wood and acrylic
Dimensions: 11″ x 11″
Date of Work: 2009
I’ve always been fascinated in white doves and willow trees. They are mentioned in both song and text in many cultures. This piece was inspired by a Native American lore from the Mandan tribe. According to the legend, after a great flood covered the Earth the Mandan’s sent out a dove in search of dry land, and the dove soon returned with a willow twig.
I hand carved this painting on wood. It is painted in artists acrylics, and sealed in a protective varnish. The side is approximately 3/4″ thick, and painted black, so it is ready to hang, no need for framing.
your creation is great mamahen..
and thank you for visiting me
