Zuni Girl Finished

I will probably wait until Thursday to list this one. She is a great contrast to the warm tones of the Blackfoot boy I painted last week. I want to do a series of ten Native American children, all from different tribes, all 11" x 14" in size. Each painting will have a different background but I want all of them to be outside.

Zuni Indian Child - No 3 in the series of Native American Indian children

This painting has exciting possibilities. It too is in the underpainting stage. I will work on it tomorrow if I have time after working on the Navajo man. Is this a painting of a brave or a young girl? I'm not sure what direction I will take it.

Navajo Man - oil on canvas in progress

I worked on the underpainting for this one this morning. I am using lead white, cobalt violet and Indanthrene Blue. The blue I am not too familiar with sio it is a bit of an experiment. It seems similar to ultrmarine but more dense and opaque. Slightly silverish too, when mixed with the white. I'll let his dry overnight.

Little Raven, a Blackfoot Indian

This is such an awesome painting. I fell in love with the child as I was working on him. It's one in a series of paintings of Indian children I am working on. I finished it Saturday and listed it on eBay Sunday. It sold the next day with a BUY IT NOW so someone else agreed. It truly is a fine painting and I will more than likely offer prints of the entire series when I am finished.

Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel

Quite a few people suggested that I should do a painting of Coach Tressel after I painted Woody Hayes. Apparently he is gaining a cult following of his own. The trademark sweater vest is now admired greatly, along with the man and his coaching ability. Here is the 14" x 18" painting after three to four hours of work.
