the Shaman by LeeAnneKortus on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Description

This was painted around 1989, actually, sometime that January.... there was a big snow where I was living in Louisiana, which is unusual to say the least. My street was iced over and I was stuck at home for about two days.....didn't have a computer back then so guess what I did?

Its maybe not my *best* watercolor work, but people seem to remember it more than others.

The old man represents an Native American Shaman, and for some reason it felt right to put him in a traditional ghost dancer type costume.

This painting is very large, dimensions are about 30 w x 36 h.

watercolor on cold press Arches paper.
