Description

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.

Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.

—Loreena McKennitt




I present to you the enchanting Dakotah!.. envisioned and crafted by the multi-talented Jennifer Morris. She is presented here within a glimpse from somehwere back in time when our connection to the cycles of life were more vibrant than they are today.

May your own dreams burn as brightly as these ancient midnight fires!

Terry

That was a great reaction, Lou'.  It really lifted my cheeks.

This is a very early work, from three and a half years back.  It came through across a magical night when I was deeply enchanted by Jen's wonderfully crafted Dakotah.  The result by dawn was enchanting itself and settled as a dear personal favorite .. which she still is.

The freedom of unhindered joy is delightful spectacle to witness.  Such a moment is what I went chasing after that night.
It does make me happy that you caught a bit of that fever with me.  

With warmth,

No, it was not easy at all, but the challenge was fun and the end result fulfilling.   

Apologies, David, for missing you and not circling back until now!
I often fall behind in correspondence when I have been away from the galleries a while.

Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions!  This matters to me.

May this year be treating you as you wish it to so far!

With warm regard,

Terry
