Artist's Statement:
The first thing I noticed about this charming scene was the colorful and unique cradleboard. Each
tribe has its own design, and this is an Apache cradleboard, naturally, since the baby, who is only
a few months old, is also Apache. Anyone familiar with my work knows that I sometimes have problems
with my young subjects' staying still. I'm happy to say that, with this grandchild of the
tribe's medicine man, there was no such problem. Adding to the atmosphere is the colorful
Pendleton blanket, an item commonly found at the trading post on the reservation. Every family
has two or three of them. The flowers around the cradleboard are brittlebush. All in all, I think they
balanced the image nicely.
