Eagle Boy and the Dawn of a New Day

This piece, like many of my paintings, was inspired by dreams, visions and Native American teachings. My prayers are to inspire a deeper sense of connection in the viewer...On this one, I had in mind to paint horses. But as I meditated on the initial color washes I put on the canvas, I saw the eyes and "Eagle Boy" came into my thoughts. The painting unfolded from there and I felt I was to paint a scene of a new era on Mother Earth.
