"Weaver of Majestic Dreams"

An old cabin, sitting by a forgotten lake, and looking up at the twin peaks of an impossible mountain;
below a sky that spells Winter.

"Before Troubled Times"

The earth is peaceful and produces an abundance, because man is an harmonious steward, as was intended."

The size is: 11" x 14"; stretched oval canvas on a beveled frame.
"GUARDIANS OF INYAN KARA"
Inyan Kara Mountain covers about twelve square miles. Its shape is that of a horseshoe. The shoe is a sharp-backed ridge, several miles in length, and very steep on both its sides. In the centre of the shoe is the mountain peak, rising several hunderd feet higher than any part of the ridge, and separated from it by a horseshoe-shaped, rocky canon, from 500 to 700 feet deep. The encircling, horse-shoe ridge is mostly covered with Norway pine. The inner mountain is almost bare of vegetation. The height is nearly 6,600 feet. The Indian did not go there often. The mountain received rain frequently which the Indian did not like. And the Indian feared the terrible thunder, and the lightning which tore apart trees and started fires. This was in addition to the rumblings which came from the mountain itself (Caused by evil spirits, they believed). Men of the Custer Expedition reported hearing and feeling the sounds as well.
"AMONG TREES I DREAM"
"This oil, on a beveled rectangle canvas, shows a landscape of mystical qualities, where maybe you've been or at least thought so.
The size is: 11" x 14"; stretched oval canvas on a beveled frame.
