Peace of the Earth

Peace of the Earth, 22x30 inches, oil on paper.The Bison energy came roaring into Armantrout Studio as a Spiritual blessing last Spring. The White Buffalo Calf Woman Legend shows up in many tribes, but is strongest in the Lakota oral history. It parallels Christian beliefs about the Prince of Peace, and the second coming. Some believe that if 4 pure white buffalo are born and survive at the same time there will be peace on earth. The peace pipe is associated with this legend. Linda painted it as a symbol for the hope for global peace. The word Buffalo means "Of the Earth" so the title refers to that. White Buffalo are not albino but are blue eyed. Linda painted a series of bison and some connect to the rock and cave art paintings.
