Saskatchewan-Land of Rivers 

The Green Mountain that Ronald found refuge and the great hero Cuchullin whose car was as Nature itself, these gave the blast that I am clan Morrison. The waft of hair spray and the ancient coldness of a snow setting declare me an artist. Roy Rogers was my first introduction to Saskatchewan. I knew someone from there who said it was big as Texas. The name means the river that flows swiftly. Its claim to fame is i its fight for Irish independence in the 1880’s. When the railroad came it made it the wealthiest province. I am bound to a weird land.

Saskatchewan has a very special mythology. The lake behind everything is Candle Lake which is called that is the Native once candle on the far north end at night when no one was there. The bridge over the lake is sky trail the longest pedestrian bridge in North America at 3,000 foot span. The weird horse in the water is the Turtle Lake Monster which residents have said is a large sturgeon. The “Pool” grain elevator which operated until the 1970’s is in Bent one of the provinces many ghost towns. Everything rests on the Flag of Saskatchewan which was designed by an Englishmen who barley lived in the province and made it with construction paper the tommy gun is for the Tunnels of Moose Jaw where booze were sunk into the US. The Mounty  is for the RCMP Heritage center in Regina ironically run by a nongovernmental organisation. It is 9” x 12,” drawn with pencil and charcoal and completed recently.  

The name of this piece is Russian Girl, is 5”x8” and drawn with pastel on cardboard recently. Recently America does not like Russia. I find that the card bored extenuates the skin color and shadow.
