Native American Designs
| These are "trompe loeil" acrylic paintings on canvas, not actual wood carvings. I used to use a computerized machine to carve these designs in wood and each one had a number the same as a limited edition print would have had. Now you will find a date on the back of each piece that represent my re-visitation of that mythical figure and the day I completed that particular painting. If you see one you like contact me at: urbanart@centurytel.net I generally charge by size Example: 10" x 10" = $150 |  Orca Come and see your father. He was a great hunter. but he was swept under the sea, and taken to the village of whales. Now his Orca. He visits us today. Look at his dorsal and know that he watches us. |  Owl I have waited long. I listen patiently with my soul. Now the Owl calls my name. I am weak and old no longer. He guides me to the other side. |
 Raven Today I made a friend He is from Eagle Tribe. He hunts well and has great humor. His son will be like him. I am pleased. My new daughter will have a good mate. * (It is tradition for Raven Tribe and Eagle Tribe to marry. It is forbidden for Ravens to marry Ravens and Eagles to marry Eagles.) |  Eagle There is an island out beyond the surf. The Raven Tribe lives there. The Girl who will be my mate will be born there in a few days. Because I am Eagle, I must wait for her, or I can never be happy with my life. This my father has told me today. * (It is traditionfor Eagle Tribe and Raven Tribe to marry. It is forbidden for Eagles to marry Eagles and Ravens to marry Ravens.) |  Facing Raven You have taken time for me today. Time from bringing Salmon up the river; Time from watching tides; Time from placing stars in the sky. You are going to play a trick on me. I see it in your eyes. I can not tell what it is. I am only honored that you take the time. |
 Spawning Salmon When my canoe was lost, I was punished. I took more than I could carry. You traveled far to reach me. I will be grateful for this. I will never waste again. |  Salmon at the Dam Raven brought me to the sea. He guides me up the river when it is time. I used to willingly share my life with man. But now I am few, and they are many, and they have not learned to share the river. I asked the Raven, Is it possible man can live without nature? |  The Joining (Raven on the right, Eagle on the Left, Joined flying towards you.) The marriage of Eagle and Raven.
