Observations: A depiction of the life force within the natural world. Humans and nature in harmony. The chromatic movement away from the simplified schemes of the petroglyphs is underway here, as Morrisseau diversifies his palette. The structure of the painting is completely free-flowing, without under-drawing, and depicts the reliance of Canada's first peoples on naturally found game for sustenance, and the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals.
