Use Painted Drums To Create Beautiful Rustic Decorating Style
If you are searching for an inexpensive, rustic decorating idea, try using the beautiful, painted drums made by Native Americans Indians. I was recently looking for an easy and inexpensive way to decorate my guest room and give it a rustic, western flare, and started purchasing great southwestern accessories for rustic home decorating. I ended up buying two beautiful painted drums that incorporated the perfect southwest look in my home and enhanced the rustic feel that I was searching for. The thing I love most about these painted drums is how they portray a true reflection of American Indian life and work through the paintings.
Perhaps you are like me and truly appreciate the authentic creativity of Native American art. As you study the origin of these paintings you will love how the artistic spirit of the American Indians can be seen in the painted drum. The beautiful hand painted drum heads serve as an art gallery for the expressions and motives of Indigenous life. Because the Native American drum artists find their inspiration through the work of their ancestors, owning one of these rustic drums gives you the unique privilege of being part of many generations of Native American artists. Each new line of Native drum artists creates their work, mingled with the past, to bring forth a truly unique work of art.
As you learn about the history of painted drums, you will see that animal drums have always been the most popular Native American musical instruments of choice and have a special meaning to these Indian people. The medium, with which they work with, varies among drum painters and is a matter of personal preference. Some Native American artists still use hand ground natural dyes, though paint has also become an acceptable choice as traditional drums make room for modern expressions of culture and creativity.
Just like the variations of mediums used to paint the drums, you will also see that drumming traditions vary between tribes. Some tribes play large drums while gathered in a circle around it, while the drums of other tribes are unique and personally decorated by the drummer. Now days it is very rare to find true ceremonial drums, but the Native American hand drums of the Tarahumara Indians are among the most authentic Native drums created for playing in drumming circles or for rustic home decorating.
Drum painting is definitely a unique art and an important part of the rich heritage of the Indian people. The painted drum has come to signify both the drummer and the tribe, as well as preserve the Native American culture through drawings of nature and legend. If you are drawn to the true values of the American Indians, you will certainly enjoy adding rustic style to your home decorating. You can easily find these Native drums online or in stores that sell rustic and southwestern home decor, and bring American Indian culture to life in your home with the exquisite art of painted drums.

Ancestor John Trumbull?
On my father's side of my family I am related to John Trumbull (the man who painted the picture of the Declaration of Independence). I am almost positive my dad said he is a uncle of grandfather (with a couple greats in front of course). But when I go to familysearch.org I can't see anyway that it could be possible. Apparently John Trumbull was an only child, as was his wife Sarah Hope Harvey Thurlow and they both never had children. Does familysearch.org have it wrong and maybe John Trumbull or his wife Sarah Hope Harvey Thurlow have at least one sibling with children and that is how I'm related? I'd really appreciate any help I can get with this. Thanks so much and have a great day!!

(NOTES: !Faith (Robinson) Trumbull was the daughter of the Reverend John Robinson,
minister of Duxbury, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts. This union raised Jonathan Trumbull's social standing considerably. To them were born four sons and two daughters. Joseph, the eldest son, was the first Commissary-General of the Continental Army; Jonathan, after a military and political career, like his father before him, became Governor of Connecticut; and John (1756-1843), acquired fame as a painter. John Trumbull (1750-1831), the poet and Hartford wit, was the second cousin of these three.)
Their children:

http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1958/4/1958_4_40.shtml says "In 1789, when he was 33, he fell in love with a lovely but frail young woman, Harriet Wadsworth, who came from Hartford, just thirty miles from Lebanon. Apparently she rejected his love; very soon thereafter consumption carried her off. She was only 24.
After this unhappy event Trumbull discovered a pretty but slatternly servant girl, TEMPERANCE RAY, working in the household of his brother Joseph. In a revealing and gravely sardonic letter written in 1799 to his close friend, James Wadsworth, a cousin of the Hartford Wadsworths, Trumbull confessed the consequences of their liaison:
“When I was last in America an accident befel me, to which young Men are often exposed;—I was a little too intimate with a Girl who lived at my brother’s, and who had at the same time some other particular friends; —the natural consequence followed, and in due time a fine Boy was born. The number of Fellow labourers rendered it a little difficult to ascertain precisely who was the Father; but as I was best able to pay the Bill, the Mother using her legal right, judiciously chose me.
Temperance named the boy JOHN TRUMBULL RAY and obtained a judgment against Trumbull. It was then that he wrote Wadsworth, enjoining him to see that the boy was properly brought up and educated.
At length, when he was 44, Trumbull married 26year-old Sarah Hope Harvey, in London. She was a beautiful girl but of mysterious lineage, and no one was ever quite able to fathom why Trumbull married her. There was plenty of gossip, however; when one of the guests at the wedding ceremony was bold enough to ask the bridegroom just who the woman was, the Colonel replied icily, “Mrs. Trumbull, sir.” Whatever her background and whatever her faults (in later years they were to be a source of severe embarrassment to him), it is certain that Trumbull loved her until the day she died.
Sarah NEVER bore her husband a child. The Trumbulls took John Trumbull Ray with them to London in 1808, representing the boy as their nephew."
[MY NOTE: So, it would be my guess, you are related through one of his siblings, or this illegitimate son,John Trumbull Ray.]

For Loni L. Lagula, her canvas functions as a journal and her paintbrush as a pen. “My painting always depicts what goes on in my life, it’s kind of like my journal,” she said.
