Medicine Deer of Compassion

Title: "Medicine Deer of Compassion"  -  "Mushkiki Waawaashkeshi Zhawenim"

This was painting #2 that was requested by my late cousin JR P Corbiere during his battle with Cancer.

Using only the four sacred colours this painting reresents an innocent (deer) in the Sunset of their life. The deer is facing the western direction but has paused to look back on their path or journey before continuing through the Western door. The deer has a star on his chest which has a small heart and a small dot in the center. This is to represent the beloved souls that have passed on and are shining down on us from the heavens. The small dot in the center of the heart represents the eternal love and space that will be held for our loved ones.
