Cherokee Artist -- Bud Breen

I have been wanting to show you this Bud Breen painting since I created this blog. Isn't it striking? And so very unlike anything we've ever seen of Bud's work. This image came from The Cherokee Nation website. There are several images of his paintings there. I saw the above image several years ago but could never find it online again. I just happened to stumble across it tonight. Its caption reads: Three generations of Cherokees. On the left is Mary Layton, the matriarch of the Cherokee Nation of Mexico. In the center is her grandmother, Mary Price, who died in 1892. On the right is her grandson, Charles Rogers. Bud’s painting brings this family together on canvas in the same way that it exists in our hearts.
