Walking Elgin Street, Ottawa, an old Native man sat on the sidewalk. I sat to talk with him a while.
He’s in recovery. Painting keeps him in recovery.
He taught me about Creator and the 7 Grandfathers. He told me, “when you drink or use, you are taking yourself farther and farther from Creator.”
He told me many things that night and then again the next day when I met him at MMIW vigil on Parliament Hill.
I will treasure my painting forever. Go see him. #passthefeather to Donnell Taylor.

Ottawa painter – you just have to look for him near McDonalds on Elgin Street, Ottawa. He always has loads of work! It’s worth it.
