"No Generation Gap" 22 x 30 watercolor  archival rag paper In today's society, teenagers and younger siblings sometimes grow apart in their common interests. Native American society, however, is a little different. Native children learn by the role-playing of the matriarchal members of the family. This watercolor painting enjoins the past with the present. These two sisters, a decade apart in age, are placed in a Contemporary setting, yet on the wall hangs a war shield reminiscent of days when warriors roamed the plains. The elder sister is lacing a toy cradleboard for her younger sibling. In turn, the younger sister observes while holding a doll made by a beloved grandmother. Strengthened by the common bond of their Native culture, these sisters have "no generation gap." This painting is the collection of the artist & is not for sale, however, please visit my website to view other available works. Thank you for looking! http://www.vonniekohn.com/ ...
