The American Indian – This painting depicts the Indian Societies of North America. No particular tribe is hereby intended, but this is a tribute to all those who inhabited these lands before the white man invasion. The Indian believed that he was a part of nature, just as were the earth, sky, rock, air and water; and he believed they were all brothers. This painting has many contrasting forces, such as the soft blends of the sky and background in comparison to the sharper lines of the subject. For no matter how much the Indian believed in nature, he had a difficult struggle to exist in it.
