Medium
Drawing - Charcoal On White Paper
Description
My drawing is done in charcoal, & ties the past with the present. The game of Lacrosse is of Native American origin, therefore, I decorated the Native American Indians helmet to look somewhat like a headress, adorned with feathers & beads. On the very top is the Goalies Stick to be used as a Dream Catcher, which was adopted by the Native Americans & considered a Symbol of Unity.

I would like to thank the buyer from Stewartsville, NJ for the purchase of my drawing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it! This drawing was also picked as one of the favorites by movie producers from the movie "Crooked Arrows" to help promote their movie along with others along the social media! It was also, along with others, displayed at the Lacrosse Championships in Amsterdam! Thank you again NJ! It is a fave of mine as well! :) I am always humbled.... Sincerely, Carla

Carla Carson replied:
Hi Alga! Well... it was introduced by the Native Americans many many years ago. And so I mixed the past with the present in this portrait. And.... most importantly, this picture was one of the ones selected by the movie producers for the movie "Crooked Arrows"!!! woo hoo!!! It was one of the artworks chosen to be showcased at the Lacrosse Championships in Amsterdam, & used to celebrate the movie Crooked Arrows! And... I need to thank you Alga for you kind comment!!!! THANK YOU ALGA!!!!!!
