Powwow inspired art

Attended the annual powwow of the Monacan tribe (virginia) with family members who are members of the tribe back in May.

did these little watercolor pre-works. this man is a traditional grass dancer and also a mentor of children in the tribe — including my grandson.

watercolor mini of a family friend in her traditional jingle dancer garb. she’s also a mentor and took my 3 year old granddaughter out to the ring to dance.
