“Desert Landscape” by Monna Barrick

Enjoy this beautiful 36×48 framed original oil painting by Monna Barrick.

It is so large that it is like having a desert mural scene in your home.

“Desert Landscape” is available by appointment – Call Jim Schuett at 480-277-7550.

Hi, I’m Monna Barrick, originally from Oklahoma and have lived in Mesa, Arizona for many years. Since 1982,

I have been lucky enough to make my living as an artist, having studied with such notables as Leon Franks, John Howard Sanden, Bettina Steinke, Leslie DeMille and Norman Rockwell’s famous art course instructors.

My works are impressionism and are mostly done with palette knife, combining some details with the brush. I love to paint all subjects including this beautiful desert so rich in color.

A wonderful influence in my life was my late husband Jim Barrick, a professional artist in his own right. I learned many valuable lessons from him. I now teach art and painting two days a week in Mesa.

Life is great when your job is doing what you love! I really hope you like what you see here as much as I enjoy painting them. Thank you for looking!

Native American Indian Tribes, Leaders, and Info

>>> From: http://www.historyonthenet.com/Native_Americans/tribes.htm

There were many different Native American tribes and those with similar characteristics formed a main tribe or nation. Each had its own language, religion and customs.

For the most part the tribes lived peaceably believing that nature was sacred and was to be shared. However, the coming of the Europeans and the removal of their land led to conflict both between the different tribes and between the Indians and whites.

By the end of the nineteenth century the Indians had lost their fight to preserve their traditional way of life and those that had survived the conflicts were confined to reservations.
