I like the idea behind this. Don't worry about the criticisms too much. No matter what you do with a topic like this, someone is going to be offended. I lived at the edge of the Navajo reservation for 20 years, and much as I love the culture and feel I have some first hand knowledge of it, I still tend to shy away from doing paintings based on it because such works would not be considered "authentic" by some.

to quote yoda: "always in motion is the future"... i think whatever culture is longest in a place is most in touch with the spirit(s) of that place. there is some considerable wisdom in indigenous traditions that is neither "ludistic" nor incompatable with evolving tecnologies. tools are not evil but that doesn't mean we need to be careless with them - or indeferent to the real spirit side either...

I don't know what to add that hasn't already been said...powerful, emotional, incredibly moving. You are a master of vibrant and evocative color.

This totally reminds me of my drawing teacher's painting style. It also seems a little reminscent of the book cover for "Isle of Woman", i think. This could work as a dyptych with each half of the face being a painting in its own.

Wow. You are an awesome painter! I love the colors u used, and the background is cool too. Being a part Native American myself, it delights me to see cool art like this.

I wish that I could have the smallest amount of talent that you do with painting. This is well done all around and it conveys so much emotion...well done!
