"Have you got any Guns?" 48" x 36" oil on canvas. The title has to do with the tradition of storytelling. Rarely a gathering happens without stories and laughter. Conversation is part of community. I also felt the need to remember my dog, because...well.. Dogs #canadianart

[Nelson White Art @NAWhiteStudio]

Well... this happened..Overwhelmed and humbled to be included on the long list for the Sobeys Art Award . Very stoked to be alongside my friends @livetextiles and @erln_hunt . Huge thanks to the lovely Claire Shea for the nomination.

New work for a summer event. Just my friend N.L. Travers being cool. "Waiting" is 30 x 30 oil on canvas #art #ArtCollectors #NativeAmericanart #canadianart #contemporaryart

[Nelson White Art @NAWhiteStudio]

I had this canvas, which has had 4 different paintings on none worked, so it got whited over, and I tried something else. But, it was a big (expensive) canvas, and I didn't want to waste it. Think it's found the final iteration. "Building Cubicles" is 48" x 36" oil on canvas

[Nelson White Art @NAWhiteStudio]

Been very busy with a bunch of projects which will be seen in the coming months. Still, I wanted to share another mask painting I did a little while back as these are becoming a thing for me. "Reflection" is 48 x 24 oil on canvas. #art #nativeamericanart #artcollectors

[Nelson White Art @NAWhiteStudio]

New work for upcoming shows later in the fall. I choose to paint my talented friend Nancy E Oakley because she's a joy to be around, but I also wanted to do something about Indigenous makers."Potter Studio" is 36 x 36 oil on canvas. #art #artist #nativeamericanart #artcollector

[Nelson White Art @NAWhiteStudio]

Not all my subjects are Indigenous..some are just the cool amazing people I know . Such is the case with Dr. Kate Lahey and Maeve.. "Bonding" is 36" x 36" oil on canvas. #art #portraitpainting #artcollectors

[Nelson White Art @NAWhiteStudio]

My friend Gordon Sparks makes these incredible masks. I asked him if I could paint them. He said I could if they spoke to me, which they did. They told me to be joyful. The Proposal is 48 x 36 oil on canvas . #art #indigenousart #nativeamericanart #nativecontemporaryart

[Nelson White Art @NAWhiteStudio]

Another big painting completed! 4ft high x 8ft long. I wanted to do something joyful and bright. There is nothing wrong with happy. "Big Dance " 48" x 96" oil on canvas. #art #artcollectors #contemporaryart #indigenousart
