Painted Face

Painted Face
Oil on 24" x 24" Gallery Wrap Canvas
$500
This painting was inspired from a photograph that I took in 1977 on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Busby, Montana. I had taken this photo at a Pow Wow and have always liked the clothing this child had on...all of the beads, leather, feathers....and I aged the child...he turned into a man on the canvas. Of course I added my own color and shapes. Lots of wide brush strokes and geometric shapes. I finished this yesterday in the studio. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing.

  1. Kay, you got the mouth right on! Very angular and "yes," he turned into a man! Good job!
