Comments

I have a fascination of all things southwest. I've read a lot about native Americans and life in the "old west" and came up with this idea of a brave with eagle feathers in his hair, surrounded by animals that he would have seen - many of which he probably hunted or perhaps had been hunted by! I designed a "Virtual Border" of elongated triangles using the color wheel to bring it all together.
