Listen to the Father and Hear the Grandfather - Indian father and child by artist Fred Fields

Listen to the Father and Hear the Grandfather by native American artist  Fred Fields.

 

"I have fond memories as a young boy hunting with my father. On the surface it was about the safe handling of a weapon and tracking animals. Underneath it was about much more. It was about respect for the land as well as the creatures of the forest - never taking more than needed and leaving only a set of fading footprints in the forest. In this painting the father teaches the boy to shoot a bow, but underneath he teaches valuable lessons of life and living, lessons passed down from grandfather to father to son." - F. Fields.
