WORKING AWAY: Young painter Kellen Heide works on her piece Jakob’s Pow Wow, a portrait of her great great grandfather Jakob Broesky (right) based on an actual photo given to her late grandmother by Jakob. The story behind the photo is a bit of a mystery – family lore lead Kellen to believe it was taken sometime in the early 30s at a local Pow Wow in Saskatchewan. Now the 16 by 20 inch acrylic on canvas piece was created from the 3 by 5 centimetre image in order to preserve the memory.
