Working on painting a pic that my mom took. Needs a lot of work on shading obviously but it’s so wet I can’t do any more right now.

This is kind of a dad-mom-daughter collab; my dad actually made the totem pole. My understanding is that the design is based on those of the Haida people from Haida Gwaii in the Pacific Northwest but it’s truly my dad’s shit, he knows a lot more than I do. He loves totem poles, so much so that he (white guy) fully learned how to make them.

(If anything about this is insensitive or culturally offensive, I will of course remove.)
