Path of Life

Description

Inspired an aboriginal motif demonstrating the path of life. I took the traditional design and added some layers of bright colours, inspired by Ojibwe beadwork that you might find on moccasins or mitts. The two circles at either end represent the beginning and end of life, here painted in orange for a rising sun, and blue for the moon.

Our lives can follow many paths and turns. It is important for us to remember to keep on the right path, and not be swayed by the evils of society. Don't drink to excess, be good to others, don't do drugs, don't steal.

This was originally painted for a children's book in 2011.

Acrylic on canvas. Approximately 3" by 10".

Miigwetch.

I love the sheer simplicity of the design.  I love Aboriginal influences, too.  Their art style has always captured my imagination with all of the colours and geometric designs.  Great work!
