"Personally I am not thinking about myself truthfully in this present year but years ahead when I am death for the children of mine and the generations of my people to feel proud of the art heritage of the Ojibway and every nationality is proud of its culture."

"Norval Morrisseau's painting style is characterized by thick black outlines and bright colors. It is not widely known that he painted large number of canvases with thick blue outlines as in the painting presented in this posting. The "Feeding the Young" was one of the paintings that Norval Morrisseau painted in Thunder Bay in 1989."

Spirit Walker,

I must say the blue outlined paintings have a very powerful feel and look to them. And yet, is very calming to look at, not the hard lines of the black ones. A truly spiritual painting! We look forward to seeing more of a study done on these,
best wishes,
Jeff
