I am here. I have always been here!

"I am here. I have always been here!" comes from a photo I took at a Native American Pow-Wow in San Diego County in 2018. After asking to take photo's of the many performers and being told nothing is to be taken during their performances, this one stood out. I talked to the young man and his parent while he poised for me. I've been waiting for 6 years to paint this young Native American. Originally there were bleachers behind him, I chose something from the Grand Teton's as being the perfect background. This piece comes framed.
