"Keeper of the Bow"
There are moments when strength doesn’t roar, it simply stands with quiet certainty.
Keeper of the Bow captures that rare balance.
She is young, yet her presence carries the weight of generations.
Her gaze holds quiet confidence, and the bow in her hands is not a toy,
but a symbol of heritage, of courage, of becoming.
Every detail was drawn with intention:
the intricate beadwork of her regalia, the soft fall of her braids,
the subtle warmth of light across her skin.
Hours of layered pencil brought her to life, not just as a portrait, but as a story.
This piece speaks to legacy:
what is carried forward, what is remembered,
and the way the future protects the past.
Keeper of the Bow is a reminder that true strength is often quiet.
Steady. Rooted. Enduring.
A timeless presence and a future heirloom of the American West.
16" x 12" colored pencil
