"Monument Valley - Yei Bechei"                                                                                                                "Western Diamondback - Celtic Style"
                         These ancient hoodoos are all that is left of a mountain spur,                                                                           I wanted to create a painting with a definite south-west theme
                         worn away by wind and rain. To the Navajo they symbolize the                                                                        and a rattlesnake came to mind. However, it had to be in a form
                         old spirits.                                                                                                                                                            that could be accepted by most people! This painting took a lot
                                                            Watercolor.                                                                                                                      of planning to keep it true to celtic knotwork style and involved
                                                                                                                                                                                                     more than 3 months work. The 2 outer patterns are continuous
                                                                                                                                                                                                     lines. The medium is a combination of pen& ink, fiber pens and
                                                                                                                                                                                                     acrylic gold paint.
