Two Loons, 1995
"I was out golfing at Cordova Bay Golf Course one evening and I noticed a beautiful orange sky. I tried to imagine the colour while I was painting this design, because it reminded me of 'the red sky at night."Loons, which tend to be solitary birds, must get together to mate. The loons represented in this design are kissing each other showing their reflections in the water. The loons are never lonely as long as they have their reflections. The diamond design around the rim depicts the white dashing which appears on the loons' body.
The loon is used in our dances and is used on the top of a sea monster's head. The loon is said to be swimming in the lake; the sea monster rises from the depths only to land the loon on top of its' head."
