I delivered this painting to The Seminole Nation Museum in Wewoka, OK yesterday to be part of my exhibit starting in March. The painting was done from a small black and white historical photo which belongs to the museum. Wewoka takes it name from this creek which translates to barking waters in the Seminole tongue. The subjects of the painting are members of the tribe called Freedmen. The Seminoles accepted freed slaves into their tribe as members around the time of the Civil War.
