THE EARTH, THE MOON, AND THE STARS ABOVE, 2000
Gouche and Acrylic. 39 x 27.
Collection of Maria Dwight Le Vesconte.
A god or goddess holds the crescent moon. Stars are in the background, and on each side of the figure's head is an owl. At the lower left is a silhouette of a person's profile. The ribbon that is floating out from the figure is just an indication of motion. This piece was partially inspired by a painting by Blackbear Bosin (Commance/Kiowa, 1921 - 1980), which depicts a warrior who is sitting out on the prairie, and an owl has lighted on his shoulder.
