Title: We're Not Alone - Acrylic on Canvas - Price: $43,200.00
Legend:
I sat in our sacred lodge with the Late Vick Eagle Elk over the years, and I am saddened to see her enter the spirit world. Once during a very hot sweat lodge ceremony in a very dark place, light appeared through the ambers of the red-hot seat lodge rocks. When the water was poured into the sacred pit, I couldn't help but close my eyes and call out my name: James, keep your eyes open.
Note: I can no longer paint my most recognized Mishmountain art style as it requires one hundred percent good eyesight.
I've tried for four years now to see fine art detailing, but I no longer have it, and have no problem creating Native Art, as it requires thicker lines.
Diabetic retinopathy took its toll on my eyesight as well. It's a price in getting older, and my part in bringing a good understanding of this planet through this art style was genuinely remarkable. I thank all the people who have supported me through the years, and a special thanks goes out to the late Pope John Paul II, who allowed me to be in the Vatican Art Collection.
