8” diameter acrylic painting by Mary Lupton of a Uktena, a feathered and horned servant from Cherokee lore. Uktena is born in flames roaring up at the moon.

Uktena: Lunar Envy 🐍🪶🔥🌖 First acrylic painting of the year! Yay! Really enjoyed painting this one. 😁 I plan to make prints available. Thinking I’ll save the original for show / market inventory. 🧐#cherokeeart #cherokeeartist #acyrlicpainting #uktena #moon
