Original artwork description:

Bear Butte is considered to be a sacred mountain to many American Indians as it is seen as a place where the creator has chosen to communicate with them through visions and prayer. Visitors may see colorful pieces of cloth and small bundles or pouches hanging from the trees. These are prayers to the creator. Bear Butte is their church. It is a very humbling experience for me each and every time I have hiked it.

Study of Bear Butte is 12 x 12 inches on stretched canvas. It is gallery wrapped, wired and ready to hang. It comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
