Cherokee: The Gathering

One reason I am so inspired by our First Nations is because they understood, appreciated and used symbolism from the natural world. The colors red, black and white were very important to the Cherokee, and each of the fauna and flora that the seven Cherokee clans were named for, held significant meaning for the place that clan held within the tribe. As an artist who delights in symbolism, I love that.

I do love a picture that tells a story. 
This one suggests some questions which also makes me happy.  Who is she turning to smile at, on this early morning visit?  Were they worth the wait? 
She seems to think so, judging by that smile.
For me references, I used a Colorado model with Native American background, designed and fitted her Victorian costume and scoped out the setting we would use (North Table Mountain) in advance.

 My partner and I found the spot we would use as our background in February 2021, at the north trailhead of North Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado.

It was then only a matter of putting all the pieces together:  our model, our costume, the location and, of course, the other riveting detail in this image:  our local horse, River.
Owned by Golden local, Karyn Peabody, who served as our handler on the day of the shoot, this beautiful horse glowed like a unicorn and had an incredibly  sweet personality. 

Born and bred in Karyn's family's barn, this beautiful horse has been with Karyn ever since and the care and love the two had for each other was obvious. 

We were very grateful that we were able to use her in the shoot, as River had a little health scare on the very day we were shooting, but the vet got her what was needed and she was already feeling great in time for her photo session.
