Starts with one thing turns it around until finished – quadravision technique. East side of “Clinic” (?) Lake. His own people like his painting. One picture is supposed to give you a feeling of warmth, moon is at the horizon, Indian person making a peace-pipe offering. The buffalo skull depicted in painting represents danger. Frank Kaquitts Indian name is Sitting Wind. He Sketches outdoors, paints indoors – works only in oils. Description of his painting of a Chinook arch. Painting of centennial symbols – 10 of them to represent the ten provinces. Another painting of a flying saucer and rocket. Talks about the difference behind the different colors of the different Indian designs. “All Indian people are different in a lot of ways” Designs are of the mountains, flowers, etc. Designs of the old people sometimes were a different color, but the design was the same. Frank has a “modernist approach.” Frank’s paintings are on sale at Fort Chiniki or in Banff.
