Description

This painting honors the artist’s father as a maker of flutes and as a flute player. Notice the attention to fine detail in the feathers and the bead work. One can almost hear the haunting notes of the traditional melodies.

The artist’s father, Woodrow Haney, made traditional flutes and played them during ceremonies and for his friends and family. The flute is a way to talk to a loved one; to be played in ceremonial dances; and as a pleasant interlude by an evening fire. Woodrow Haney’s flutes have been passed down through the years and kept in the same families.

It is the best glazing option available for art, photographs and other important personal keepsakes.

The matting on this picture is an acid free matte(s) for long term protection and to enhance the picture.
