Thunder Woman first appeared while I was recovering from major surgery. Months passed before I recognized her as the spirit of Native uprising--the reemergence of Native values & paradigms in diverse circumstances.Buffalo Dreamer leapt off the page while I was preparing for a featured artist show at Sebastopol Gallery. He seemed iconic in himself. But then he started showing up in the company of other characters from the series.
In this watercolor, 15 x 12", Buffalo Dreamer & Thunder Woman are crossing a river. Maybe he is helping her, maybe she is giving him courage. Some unknown is before them, some transition occurring.
A mature psychotherapist with a deep spiritual practice burst into tears when he saw this painting. Felt like a miracle to me....

Be well.
Sandy, would it be OK to comment based on the fact that I was named 'Coyote' by an American shaman..and titled my blogs Coyote Dreamer. It's caused some confusion because I find there are a few 'Coyote Dreamers' out there. My best wishes
