In the dust

This is a detail of a painting I am just finishing up with:  it is depicting Sitting Bull’s vision of soldiers falling into camp, which preceded the Battle of the Greasy Grass… or Battle of the Little Big Horn… or Custer’s Last Stand… it goes by many names.

I am interested in combining images in my paintings: it adds layers of meaning to the piece.  The smoke and dust I am utilizing as a unifying element in this painting, helps to convey motion, chaos and helps to put the imagery into the past tense.

I am preparing to greet my visitors from France and England in a couple of days!  If you are interested in joining us “virtually”, I will be posting about what we are doing over the next busy weeks.
