Bandera Pow Wow, 12"x 9", Oil |
Several years ago I attended a PowWow in Bandera, Texas. In spite of it being held in the heat of a Texas summer, all participants were decked out in their finest regalia. This painting is of one of many who caught my eye that day. As I watched him...them... dance, and heard them sing my heart swelled in admiration and respect for their determination to keep their heritage alive. May they forever be able to do so.
