ThunderBolt best Flowers

This painting is awesome! My heritage and ancestors are from the Cherokee Nation. My Great Grandfather was a Cherokee Chief in Oklahoma. I never got to meet him but on visits to see my Grandfather there was a room that had his head dress in the closet. I remember seeing that and being told that it was best my Great Grandfathers. I have only seen one pic of him but it was hard to make it out. They called him "Thunderbolt Flowers." So I always imagined that he would look like this. The background reminds me of how one day I will see him in a distant future.
