In Clifford's Closet
(Medicine Man)
Oil on Canvas 24 x 48






















A smudging ceremony was held during the painting of this Medicine Man in honour of our ancestors.
I asked the creator to invite pure and positive energy into my painting, casting out all negative energy, and help my creation speak to the hearts of those who gaze upon it.  My hopes are that those who look upon this medicine man receive his positive energy in which it was created and see what it shows them.  I saw this medicine man as a child and opened my eyes to what we cannot see or explain.
