Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I know next to nothing about art so I can't believe that I am actually posting anything in this forum but I ran across an interesting artist on a TV program this morning.

Dale Auger is a Canadian artist whose primary work is of native culture. He has studied the masters extensively "from Picasso to Monet" and this is reflected in his art.

From the website:
Quote:
His artwork is bigger than life and creates a commanding presence, seemingly galvanized with a restrained power. However, it’s also deceptively simple; and therein lays the core of the artist.

“The simplicity is really a big part of my art,” affirms Auger. ‘Because these worlds we live in, what we might know as the Indian world versus the White world; sometimes it has created such a complex place for itself that the basic human need to communicate cannot be there. Sometimes we don’t communicate because we’re so far apart.”


For any of you with children who appreciate the native culture or "cowboy life", they may enjoy these paintings. Here's a few samples...

Those are lovely pictures, Taffy. I'm fond of native and southwestern art.
