| 20 x 24 oil on canvas " Red Cloud" |
My Father , who is 82 , has been bugging me for some time now for a painting of a native American Chief holding a peace pipe. He bribbed me with a little cash ... soooo .... I gave him a great deal and I have always liked Red Cloud , so I picked him as my subject. I found a a black and white photo on the internet and decided to colorize it. I also will add color to the background with a patterns that are lifted from his buckskin shirt. What you see is about 5 hours worth of work.

I am sure that this will be a amazing painting when you are done with it. The face is full of life and dignity. I get the feeling that he is alive and thinking! Great work mate!
