Abalone Eye On Northwest Indian Art Killerwhale

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

#art #nativeamerican - I love that custom Northwest Indian art killerwhale carved by master carver Gary Baker of Squamish Nation, BC that we commissioned on behalf of a customer. Here’s a closer look at what he did for the head area. He used an abalone part for the eye of the killerwhale and it looks great. What do you think of it?

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

#inuit #art - Here is an odd looking Inuit inukshuk carving. It’s almost like the carver wanted a modern art, abstract look but it is interesting. What do you think of this Inuit inukshuk?

Inuit Art Print Showing Arctic Life

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

#inuit #art #arctic - Here is a typical Inuit art print showing Arctic life. Very different from the Northwest Native art I’ve been showing here. Inuit art drawings seem to have a child-like quality to them but they are in demand around the world.

What do you think of this Inuit art print?

Northwest Indian Art Painting Of Bear

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

#art #indian - Here is a wonderful Northwest Indian art original painting of a bear that we sold through Free Spirit Gallery to a local courier company. This is one piece I think I should have kept for myself! And to think that it was an original too.

But at least somebody is probably really enjoying this Northwest Indian art bear now. How do you like it?
