The Cherokee people once believed that each had the spirit of an animal that lived within them, and guided them through life.  

When the original of this picture was accepted, it was published under “Other Works” because it was considered non-genre, so when I replaced it with the updated version, I just used a snapshot. Now it’s in the main gallery, and looks awful, especially the boarder.  I will try to take a better photograph of it, resubmit it yet again, and hope that the Mods will be as kind.

wow I really love these kinds of pics where faces are next to each other kind of thing. I could tell you put alot of hard work into them. and I do believe theres an animal inside of all of us.

:-) Alison Smoot replies: "I’ve done a lot of work of a similar nature. I doubt that I could find paper large enough to include all of the kinds of animals that influence my life. "

You are very skilled with water colors, for that is an incredible piece! Must have taken a long time to reach for this wonderful outcome. Fantastic!! 18

:-) Alison Smoot replies: "That is quite a complement, coming from one so talented. The piece has been unfinished for some time, but I’ve just uploaded an updated replacement. I do hope that the changes made were bettering. "

Beautiful piece Alison. I used to have lots of dreams about wolves...

:-) Alison Smoot replies: "Dreams can so gracefully free one from the cares and restraints of reality. More and more I call them home. Thank you for your comment. "
