Interesting paintings and the stories behind them

Wonderful artwork ala Paul Klee, and I loved reading this as a companion piece of sorts to Winter's "Winters' Tales: Stories and Observations for the Unusual." Mr. Winters was immensely gifted in using simple (not simplistic) language and packing volumes into a single sentence - and I should've resisted reading his take on his paintings, because 'tis best to approach artwork with minimal preconceptions.

Unusual artwork, with a Native American influence.
