Illuminated

The sepia toned Native American photographs by Edward S.Curtis are always an inspiration...I simply wish to pay heartfelt tribute to our first Americans and their beautiful culture. This pen & ink drawing was rendered in a loosely spirited style.

You do beautiful work. I enjoy Curtis, also. He did all of us a great service by capturing the images of the native Americans. You give great tribute to him through your work.
