North American Native/Celtic Depiction of Me The Hound Dog
Since I have been studying various types of art work from around the World, I have discovered that there is a similar resemblance between North American Native Indian art and the art of my ancestry, early Celtic style art from Scotland. Any way, the other day I was watching the Native channel on cable TV here in Montreal, and got an art lesson from a Native Art Instructor. From the lesson I learned, that the original Native style of art consisted of line formations consisting of "U", "L" , and "S" type shapes. So after the art lesson from the Native cable TV station, I put my chaulk pastel to work, and created a symbolic "Hound Dog" portrait of myself. I choose the colours carefully for the symbolic meaning for my own artistic purposes. In the neck, I put the two"S" shapes together to form a modern high speed type propeller found on controllable pitch propeller designs in ship construction. It is what drives me in my creative endeavors, to forge ahead and produce no matter how much I am suppressed due to circumstances. Ironically, a Petty Officer in Engineering on Canadian ships often wear a ship's propeller on their sleeve indicating his/her rank in uniform. With me being a petty Artist/Writer with limited resources other than the Internet, I choose the double "S" shape to form a ship's propeller on the neck of my "Hound Dog", as a depiction of my petty Artist/Writer rank as some sort of "Hound Dog" sniffing out different types of engineering problems in buildings, along with producing engineering designs as a Engineering Technician, like a high speed variable pitch propeller found on some modern ships. (Canadian Coast Guard College education kicking into gear here) What the heck, I produced a wonderful piece of art and learned something about my local Native community and their art work, which can closely resemble the Celtic art of my ancestry. ....Till later, the Doctor Schizo Nut working hard!
