Here's a link to the site of a fine Lumbee painter, C.H. Kennedy. It looks like he values documenting his work.

" When you buy a painting from C H Kennedy Studios you get more than just a tangible painting. You get to witness the creation of the painting along with Kennedy. Each original commissioned piece comes with a detailed photo history of the creation of the painting along with a certificate of authenticity."

I had registered for a Cafepress.Com shop so that people could buy t-shirts and cards, etc.,online, with my imagery on them.
I haven't been prepared, until now, to make it public, but here's the link. Just in case you have a burning desire for a Bingorage coffee mug.


Northwestern Ontario is burning.
Several First Nations communities, up north, have been evacuated. There are literally hundreds of fires burning across the region and fire crews have been depleted by the return to school of student fire-fighters.
