n early morning image shot from the rental car while in route to my color management presentation in Osceola Arkansas. Osceola originally was the name of a rebellious young leader of the Seminole Indians who unsuccessfully resisted forced emigration from Southeast swamplands to unoccupied swamplands just west of the Mississippi river. Active in the Second Seminole War in the Florida swamps, he was captured and imprisoned by federal troops in 1837 while carrying a white flag of truce.
“This gallant fellow is grieving with a broken spirit, and ready to die, cursing the white man, no doubt to the end of his breath.” - George Catlin
