AB has returned to the western theme and completed a beautiful painting featuring a Native American Indian girl she met during a pow wow at Wind River Reservation. The child was traveling with her parents who were selling her father's bead work at pow wows during the summer season. This is the second artwork AB has completed depicting this child and will be offered soon as a limited edition. The original is currently available, so contact us for further details.
