Prayer

Praise the earth and water,
Praise nature and peace.
Whether praying to the forces around you,
Or to the Great Creator.
Realize that you and the ones you love
are alive or have lived.
That alone is enough to give praise about.

Old Father Smudge

Old Father

We needed no teachers,
Or professors to teach us.
We had the Old Fathers
To show us the way.
The stories that were
Handed down from
Fathers to sons
Guided and taught us.
Because of their wisdom,
We followed the
Correct path.

Fear for the fearsome
24x20 Steel on fabric & board

No matter how fierce the creature or warrior,
Fear still dwells beneath.
Do not let ego hide the fear, for fear is ones best defense.
The wolf is a predator to many, but he knows that he too is prey.
He bares his teeth and is willing for the fight,
But, when he knows he cannot win,
He runs.

Momentary Escape
32"x48" steel acrylic paint on Fabric mounted on board
(sold)

If only momentarily, we all need escape.
As if leaving the cool water
In slow motion
Breaking the surface to feel the warmth of the sun on your face.
From one reality to the next.

Mother
24x36 Steel on fabric & board
(sold)

She’s fed us,
Clothed us,
Housed us,
But still we abuse her.

We make her waters undrinkable.
We pollute her air.
We destroy her forests.

She weeps
Not for herself,
She weeps for us.
Because she knows,
As we destroy her
We destroy ourselves,
And our children.

Brother Horse
36"x48" Steel acrylic paint on fabric mounted on board
With legs as fast as lightening
And hooves, the sound of thunder
He runs.
His mane like flowing water
His tail like wind whipped fire
He runs.
Heart pounding like a medicine drum
He’s Free.
