To my canadian friends

This picture is a tribute to all the native people of Canada.  This picture came together with the help of a few friends.  Glenda Mast took the picture of the little girl, my mother gave me the picture of the lady holding the fish and Merle Nisly completed the picture with the great photo of the lady in the top left had corner. My desire was to do something from my past.  The older pictures were done in black and white to give a feeling of past history.  The little girl is done in full color to show current.  As I was painting the little girl I kept thinking about what a work of art her outfit is.  It is truly amazing the time that must be put into making an outfit like hers.
