I think this goes well with the first one in the series. This one makes me think of a mask, a mix of hard and softer parts like plastic and cloth.

does evoke a masklike impression. That gives me food for thought on the next one....:)

Thunderbird has been fooling around with a hawk and they produced an egg or two. Very like a spirit animal or totem animal. Pacific Northwest and all, although I don't know if they would like a non-tribe member going there. But the paintings are very different from native art and their pantheon. But how could one living up there not have a though in that direction occasionally.
I really like the intensity of this one.

I really like the intensity of this one. thanks D Akey, I have always loved the Pacific Northwest native-american art carved in cedar and painted in flat colors - very stunning work and very inspirational
Youthful, fresh perspective...it is a happy painting to me, Gary. thanks Sandy, glad you see the joy in it!.
