FRIDAY ART BLOGGING-inun

this is my last indian 'portrait'. Quannah Parker. he was 1/2 indian. his mother was abducted as a child. much later, you could say his mother was abducted back along with her daughter, who did not survive. while painting him and really studying him, i hink because of his mother being white, he would make sure he was deeply tanned, his fingernails showered he was naturally whiter. also he made sure he was the bravest of braves and achieved high status.
another case of paint this guy, 'he's hot'.
i did this one while waiting for my uncle to decide about the background. i tried something different with this one. in the photo, he's standing in front of a teepee and i tried breaking the background with a diagonal. calf skin tent 1/2, blue sky 1/2 and it just didn't work for me. so, painted over that. much prefer the greenish ocher.
oh, he was texas area. comanche i believe.
