I'm in the mood for Aztec & tribal...

One day, for whatever reason, I wanted to create an artwork that was not floral at all. Artists or creative people are known for being moody, perhaps I am into one of those bouts. You know, that period when you even have a deadline for a commissioned painting of a flower, but you cannot begin at all.

Well, all I can think of that moment, and what I am ecstatic to do was of an Aztec or sort of a tribal themed compostion. Feathers, orange, aqua, magenta, a teepee and even Pocahontas were all flashing in my head. And I started to sing as usual..."think you own whatever land you land on, the earth is just a dead thing you can claim, but I know every rock, and tree, and creature, has a life, has a spirit, has a name..."

As if under a spell, I found myself working on this direction and below were the results of this "not in the mood to paint flowers" day...
