Sometimes, an artist get in touch with me to have my blessing to interpret one of my photos to create a painting. That is what Kelly Duquette, a young Aboriginal artist, did some time ago and here is the result, with the original photo below.
A Cree (Cris) from the Mistawasis First Nation wearing Cree traditional dresses and paint takes part into the dance contest of the Wendake Pow-Wow July 1, 2012. The Algonquian-speaking Cree are one of the largest groups of First Nations / Native Americans in North America, with 200,000 members living in Canada.
