Artist's Comments

Colorado winters are cold enough to freeze your kachina!!!

I put this in the animal section because he represents a Deer or Elk. The native American Hopi tribe have made Kachina dolls for hundreds of years. They represent all kinds of animals and charactres. This watercolor is of an Elk or Deer kachina.

Don't ask me what I was thinking, it must have been late at night during a full moon!!!

:D i like this one. i like blue. ;] but maybe i would have prefered it without the borders. they are so sharp and the rest of the picture is kind of soft. eh. i can't express it better. ;]

Thank you, The borders are also a native American Indian design, they used this kind of border on pottery mostly but also on rugs and jewelery. Its a bit extreme but I wanted it to look like it was just floating in the air. Strange, I know :-)

Kachina means "spirit" to the Hopi Indian tribe. They had Kachinas to represent the spirits of different animals and they believed these spirits to be ancestors of human beings. They had Kachina dancers and carved dolls from wood but also used Kachina designs on many other forms of art. :-)

I will submit another snowy deviation shortly, without borders, just for you :-)
