DANIEL L. VALDES

I own one of his work. #20 / 450 It's in my sanctum!

In remembrance of Daniel. I will always treasure the Butterfly prints I purchased from Daniel. I purchased a total of five - one for myself and four sent to family members. And Daniel kindly signed each print on the back. It is the most beautiful art on my wall , and I never get tired of looking at it. I took one of my good friends to Father Sky Mother Earth. She bought the butterfly and a couple of larger bear prints for her fiancé. Really not a day went by that I didn´t stop in to say...

There is not a day that I don't think of Raven. He touched my spirit and I will never forget his sincere presence. He was talented, genuine, and a kind loving soul. It was my honor and pleasure to meet him and my only regret is not having made it to his studio, hear him play the flute, and just be in his presence of kindness and peace. I stare at the painting I bought and remember him because I see it each day when I wake up. Never have a few minutes in a person's presence stayed in my heart...

I sure do miss him, even though he was my Uncle, he was like a big brother to me. I think of him all the time. Rest in peace.

I received 2 of his original works in a 500 piece collection from my mother, who got them from a woman in Colorado when she worked for a moving company. after doing more research on the piece and the artist, it pains me that this woman wanted these gone. I'm so thrilled to learn of who Mr. Valdes was and the mark he left on this earth not only with his art, but his spirit. I will forever treasure these pieces.

23 and some months ago....I bought an 'Eagle Blessing' print for the daughter I was then 6 months pregnant with. we talked for....2.5-3 hours about EVERYTHING and so so so much of his wisdom has been impactful and in my life every day. When I was pregnant with my son, I looked him up for another picture I was considering...he had spoken of how he included writings or poems with each but had stopped because no one seemed interested....I insisted in him sending that with that picture and I am...

We still think of you and Como. We go to NM about every other year and when we were on our way to Taos (where we used to own land) we drove by Embudio. We both mentioned Daniel and Como and gave a node to them both as we passed. All these years later, you're still in our hearts! God's Speed.
