"Cherokee Journey", 24" by 36", oil on canvas, copyright Jessica Libor 2009
This piece was alot of fun. I just completed and delivered it for a client this week–meant for a house overlooking a lake which was once inhabited by the Cherokee tribe of Indians.
The symbols on the canoe are the Indian symbols for “sun”, or happiness, and the seasons. Having a good bit of Cherokee in my heritage myself, I posed for the Indian woman and a friend of mine with Native American in his background posed for the man. He doesn’t have a ponytail and feathers in his hair in real life, however.
