The light in your paintings is exactly how I remember the light in Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino.<BR/><BR/>I'm here by way of Vulture Cafe.amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002625505536250498.post-24295548851721227622008-02-22T19:34:00.000-08:002008-02-22T19:34:00.000-08:00Thanks for stopping by Pablo.

In most powwows you usually see plains style dancing and drumming however, the California Natives are very different in dress and dance and singing style. The headress was made by her grandma before she passed away. Usually adorned with clam shell disc beads and shaped abalone dangles, this one has glass beads. We are so fortunate that Grandma shared her wisdom with us. <BR/>I know this may be a little illusive but I'm not sure how much to divulge, traditions get tricky talking about them outside family. I hope you will not be offended by this but I want to honor those ancient traditions.<BR/><BR/>If you google Grace Hudson Paintings, you'll be able to see many more Pomo natives in traditional dress (including headdress)Pablo Villicaña Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882687238190832581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002625505536250498.post-52830328426064771092008-02-12T09:50:00.000-08:002008-02-12T09:50:00.000-08:00Unbelievably beautiful.

I see the magic you`ve captured in her eyes. Bravo! I`ve traveled and come full circle.
