My featured artists for the month of March Creative Spirits   Specializing in Native American Folk Art, David and Artis create some amazing work.  From oil paintings to miniatures, they do it all.  Dreamcatchers, spears, ceremonial daggers, leather purses and pouches, you name it, they have made it. All natural bone, leathers, feathers, and semi-precious gemstones are used to create authentic tribal pieces. No two alike. Located in the Foothills of California you can find these two at the local trade fairs or opening their home to the public for weekend shows. While David is busy painting away, Artis is at her table putting together some of very pretty South Western jewelry. They both are very camera shy which is why I have only their business card to share. This picture really doesn't do the miniature justice. To see it in person is truly a delight.

Do you paint? Draw? Write? If not, have you ever wanted to? Why not give it try? Add it to your 2014 goals. Paint a picture!  My parents are artists. In fact most of my family are artists in some fashion. I don't do nearly as much as I should. It's therapy. An escape in thoughts... visions. I started back in the 1990's doing oils and mostly surreal work.. Then I kept going. I love drawing faces...This one I did of an older woman's picture on the back of a Reno News and Review magazine. To this day I couldn't tell you what the picture was for or who she was. My pencil was the "Fountain of Youth" that day!  Of course like every artist, I have a little bit of a darkside... ;) I would never suggest doing a checkerboard theme unless you are really into torture. The first one I did with the rose, should have taught me a lesson.  I started listing my work online then a couple of of art shows. I received a lot of compliments but no one really ...
