Dale+Auger

Post here if you chose to write about Dale Auger. I'll get things started with an example.



Another Alberta artist! I learned that Dale Auger is also from Bragg Creek, Alberta. This is called "Long Distance Healer," by Dale Auger, it is a painting. It shows a seated woman in the centre of the composition; she is holding a feather. She is a large, lone figure which shows me that she is important. Her feather must be important too. Her bright red dress really makes you stare at her. There are not very many lines in the painting and although it is not "real life," it doesn't looke like a cartoon; there are no outlines. I like the bright colours because they make me feel warm! Dale Auger shares the story about how his mother is a medicine woman and how he can call her anytime to give him strength, healing and faith. I think it is interesting that she is called a Medicine Woman, but he doesn't talk about getting medicine, just kind words. I think that alot of Mom's are like that. I think he must be inspired by his mother because he painted her! I think I would like to think about people who inspire me for my next painting!

 * I really like this painting. The sky looks really pretty and is many different shades of pink. Her red dress really catches your attention. I have never heard of this artist before, but this painting is very lovely.


 * The moment I put my eyes on this painting, I feel like the person in it was lonely at once, but now is happy, and is taking a moment to breathe, take all of whats happening in. The colours are beautiful, espcially in the sky. It looks like it is water paint. I really love this painting.

Dale Auger is from Bigstone Cree Nation from Northern Alberta. He is a skilled speaker educator and artist and most of his paintings are brightly coloured, but this one is an exception. It is called Shoots the Sky Medicine and is painted with darker, less vibrant colours. There are some lines in the painting and it seems almost cartoonish the way he is pointing his bow in the air.

Nice choice of painting David. It looks like he's about to shoot the sun.


 * I like this painting because of how realistic it looks. It looks like a real man is actually trying to shoot the sun. I like the colors, they go together well.
