  The Handsome Warrior Saturday evening as I was leaving the Powwow in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, I had already put my cellphone in my purse and how I wish I would have kept it out to take a picture of the most wonderful scene. A handsome warrior was standing, talking to his mother or wife. I could not tell the age of the warrior because of his regalia and face paint. His natural stance showing strength, honor, and composure filled me with such admiration that I told this man that I loved him as I walked by. He turned to look at me and saw my eyes widen as I realized what I had said. I tried, without avail, to explain the different love that I spoke of. Motioning with my hands the length of his raiment, concerned that the woman he was speaking with was his wife. My hand motions only made his perplexity heighten.

  'Scenes From The Porch' Laveda D. Rockford   Here is a little summary about me and what I do. Laveda D.

  Scenes From the Porch series  oil on canvas, 12" x 24" artist Laveda D. Rockford Scenes From The Porch I have worked all week and finally found time today to write this and post it.

To begin with, I would like to remind you what the motto in my first book, Captive Deliverance , and screenplay Yahreh , is.         There is a reason for everything,        And everything has a purpose. Just like this painting that I just finished, R 1 of the Rockford Series, Scenes From The Porch . The scenery is picturesque.

Bringing thought of mind forward in action to present something others, hopefully, can ...
