Apache Cradleboard - watercolor


One of my favorite paintings I have done. It is only about 6" x 9" painted on wc board. The actual cradleboard was in my collection of artifacts and is shown hanging on the cedar wall in my studio in New Mexico, 1982. I acquired the cradleboard from a native on the Mescalero Apache Reservation near Ruidoso. Some Apaches still use the cradleboard to carry their babies....much like we carry them in high-tech carriers, strollers etc. here in the "city."
