“Proud to Be,” Oil Painting of Native American from Taos Pueblo in Pow Wow Dress

Proud to Be, Oil on Canvas, 12” X 12” (image size), Framed in Black Contemporary Frame, $295 USD

 

Most of my paintings are very contemporary, but every once in a while I like to “stretch” skills a bit to be more realistic.   I liked the attitude of this woman from the Taos Pueblo.  She is proud of her heritage—it comes from a people who have always been proud in spite of what has happened to them historically.  I am proud to be a part of Taos where I can feel the energy of the “Mountain” on  pueblo land and of the people who inhabit that land.

 

I feel as if I was “brought” here to Taos in an unusual set of circumstances.  I had no intention of staying here, but here I live after 14 years.  The power of the mountain!!!

This painting can be purchased at Jackie's Trading Post, Taos or online.
