Standing on "Eagle Rock...."Black Elk" says a prayer to the "Great Spirit"....."All the wings of the air shall come to you, and they and the winds and the stars shall be like relatives". I know this draw doesn't qualify for the advanced board, but I needed a bigger space for this picture. If it needs to be moved.....that's ok. :)

It's very beautiful. We should have taken note of how the native Americans treated the Earth, they did it right.

Thank you all very much for all of your nice comments....I appreciate it very much. "Lori".....I started out with a "ref" picture, and I got the "passage" from it.....but I turned the picture into my own.....it is completely different from the "ref" picture. Yes "Davinci"......I completely agree with you about how the Native Americans treated the earth....they did it right. I have great admiration and respect for Native Americans,,,,,they are "true human beings". Thanks again for all of your comments....I'm glad you all like the picture. :)

Very nice draw.

Hi "Gel-o", and "Jp"......Thank you both for your nice comments....I do appreciate it. "Gel-o"....I started out using a "ref" pic for this draw.....but I ended up doing "my own thing" with it....and made this picture "my own. It looks completely different from the "ref" pic. I get my inspiration from looking at different pictures that interest me. I love Native American pictures, and wilderness pictures, and animals, horses, sea pictures, boats, landscapes, seascapes, etc......I could go on and on. I just love to draw.....I love looking at all the pictures that all the amazing artisrts here have done. It inspires me to "keep on practicing"......and maybe someday I'll feel like an artist. I'm not there yet.....I still need lots of practice. Thanks again for your nice comments....I really do appreciate it. :)

Your source in influence is very unique. Lovely work!
firecracker (Feb 17, 2009)
Thank you very much "hladrillo", for your nice comment.....I really do appreciate it. I guess my source of interest for this picture was because it is "Native American". I've always been interested in Native American culture and history, and I love drawing pictures of anything that is "Native American. I started out using a "Ref" picture.....but I made some changes to this draw, and made it my own. It doesn't look anything like the "ref" picture. Thanks again for your nice comment....I'm glad you like the picture. :)
