I am meeting a Medicine Woman this weekend, and wanted to honor her with a gift. I figured I would give her an East Coast styled image- since she is Coast Salish and would perhaps appreciate the variance in art style.

This is the Anishinabe[k] style of art ("Woodland Style"). Sans the Raven portrait at the bottom right, of course. I delight in this style as well, and will be posting more in the future.

Sadly, the original didn't survive the day. I was working on the floor in my sister's living room- a high traffic area- and it ended up underfoot and destroyed when someone stepped on it and dropped their meal on it.
My fault really, if I finished the image and scanned it, I should have immediately put it in a safe place as opposed to back on the floor.

One of my close Coast Salish friends (form the Tsooke Nation) remarked how ironic it was that not only a bad "trick"/ accident destroyed the image, but it involved food no less. How very.... raven of it.

Gouache, acrylic paint, ink, and masking fluid.
