water protectors by pat kanzler

I have been deeply affected by the Standing Rock Sioux and other Native American tribes to be the protector of their nation and its water, and how the people of North Dakota decided the Dakota Access Pipeline should not go through Bismarck because it might poison their water, but it would be fine if it went through tribal territory and poisoned them. I am enraged. This is an oil over acrylic; I like acrylic because I am impatient and so is the medium, but oil allows me to blend more colors on palette; I use water-soluble oil.
