I went to a PowWow and I was so mesmerized by the creativity, passion and beauty that was before me. I took photos like crazy and I look forward to not only sharing what I saw, but what I felt.
Dance is movement and it is the first expression that a child does. Even before speech, movement is a thrill to the body when the baby realizes it can roll, lift it's head, crawl, stand and so on.
Colour is what we see, like fractals put together into something that we understand.
Sound, the drums, loud and in group rhythm, the day was magic.
The kids especially that day. I am going to do a few more of these capture paintings because as an artist, I get to delve deeper in that experience with every stroke and restroke. I get to imagine and feel that child get excited about the costume, the colours and anticipation of the event to come. I get to relive through my own childhood, what was shared with me and share to you.
What a thrill.
Peace in your journey.
