On finally finishing Red Cloud ... with a twist

Red Cloud ... 20 x 24 oil on Canvas

Well, I'm shipping this off to my Dad today. Pardon the pun on including the indian nickel as a substitute for the real medallion worn by Red Cloud. But I find the juxtiposition ironic and  interesting. But ... that's just me.

 I keep looking into his eyes and wonder what he was thinking.

  4. Well ... he has already complained that he would have liked to have seen more feathers on the chief. There is no pleasing some fathers .....

  5. Hopefully how many feathers is viewed as only a small detail compared to the depth in the face of your Red Cloud. A truly outstanding portrait Frank, kudos.
