"Astila" Native American Indian Chief by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

JUST SOLD! "Atsila"which means fire in the Cherokee language.
Like their distant cousins the Iroquois, the Cherokee Indians had an even division of power between men and women. Cherokee men were in charge of hunting, war, and diplomacy. Cherokee women were in charge of farming, property, and family. Men made political decisions for the tribe, and women made social decisions for the clans. Chiefs were men, and landowners were women ( I like that). Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine. Today,Cherokee women can be chiefs also,which makes me smile. I am proud to be part of the Cherokee-Choctaw blood line.
This original oil painting was done on an 11"x14" stretched linen canvas.Thanks for looking. To view more of my work, please visit srcartavenue.blogspot.com

The Old Mill Study, Barbara Haviland

#mill,#water,#building,#11x14,#BarbaraHavilandFineArt.com This painting was part of a study. We had the photo and I painted it then watched the demo. I always do that. I like to change my painting up a bit. It is painted on a hardboard panel that has canvas adhered to it. I have used this method for years. I don't care for the spring of a stretched canvas. Thanks for viewing my art ~~Barbara Available GALLERY INFO Barbara Haviland Fine Art 1579 County Road 1010 Woodville, Texas 75979 409-332-0141 Website
