This is a painting of a sacred Hopi Kachina Hilili helmet mask that was auctioned off in France against the wishes of the Hopi people because the Hopi�s faith is that they believe this mask is actually alive by their faith. When the masks are not used, they are stored behind muslin screens so they can �breathe� and are ritually �fed� corn pollen.

The masks are worn by dancers during religious ceremonies and are considered as living beings. They are considered so sacred, in fact, that in Dec. 2013 a US charity spent $530,000 to rescue 24 Hopi artifacts from an auction in Paris, in order to return them to their rightful owners.

Ludwig Bemelmans became another of my favorites and so I became a watercolorist and muralist at an early age. I spent my high school years taking Saturday classes at Mass College of Art in Boston and spent quite a bit of time in the art department at Needham High School...
