August 2024 Comments by Charles Froelick: This print is from the last series of prints that Bartow made and editioned before his death in 2016. This image depicts a horse and rider, but the rider is mounted backwards. Rick said that he clearly remembered watching the John F. Kennedy funeral on TV and that the horse pulling the casket had no rider, but boots mounted backward in the stirrups.
In 1998, Bartow told this Crow Story
"This drawing depicts the pan-Northwest Native myth of crow and the sun box. The tale is often called Yealth, which is the Tlingit word for crow or raven. In Crow Story, a powerful chief keeps the sun in a box. Crow tries many ways to trick the chief into releasing the sun, and there are several variations explaining how the sun is freed eventually. Beside crow is a sun mask, which resembles a mask made by Lillian Pitt—a close friend and artist, member of the Warm Springs tribe."
In 2006, Bartow spoke about the crow walking:
"A pow-wow dancer-all bustle and proud-crow-hops the dusty circle dance.  Falsetto voices chanting - as drum sticks unite - in a thunderous crescendo - of mother’s great heart beat!  Sacred fool, keep away from our daughters and get your sticky fingers out of that pick-nick basket!"
