Cherokee Trail of Tears Mother and Child
Artist
Laura Grisham
Medium
Painting - Mixed Media On 140lb. Watercolor Paper
Description
The 3rd painting in my "Trail of Tears" series, "Mother and Child" reflects the sadness of a mother upon the death of her child. Many Native Americans died on their way to the Oklahoma reservation due to disease, cold, starvation and cruelty of the soldiers who led them. My hope is that their journey and loss will never be forgotten.
The piece was created using india ink glue, poured acrylic, feathers, yarns, and genuine wire-wrapped stones and stone fetishes.
*The original has been professionally framed without a matte in a dark mahogany brown frame that matches the other TRAIL OF TEARS paintings.
*THE ORIGINAL IS A PART OF THE PRIVATE ART COLLECTION OF
DR. BRADLEY AND CATHY HENRY OF LITTLE ROCK, AR.

Thanks so much for your note, Connie. I am still discovering my style and your words have helped me to confirm what I already suspected! Please stay in touch! Laura

Laura, Thanks for the nice comments on my 9/11 painting. You know, I live in Clarksville (on the Trail of Tears), and everytime I hear it mentioned it brings to mind a "catering company" that once opened here and called themselves "Trail of Tears Caterers". At the time I remember thinking, what a depressing name for a caterer. As you might imagine they left in a trail of tears and were shortly out of business. NOW I see, if they had only had one of your wonderful paintings in the sign/logo - they would have been a resounding success! What wonderful work you turn out - I can see you believe in color, as I do! Thanks ....larry

What more can I say, Laura, after the others? Except how can I get to Dr. Bradley's? Peace, etc., Bruce

Ironic isn't it? Such beautiful people who endured so much hurt and sorrow. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Marlene, I am so glad that you were able to "feel" my painting. There was a lot of pain and sorrow with each stroke but the bright colors promise new life and new beginnings. There is nothing I can teach you that you probably do not already know... let God guide you and your work and you will always find joy in your painting. Blessings, Laura Grisham
