Judy says:

Have this original painting in Dallas, Texas. Subject for this painting was my imagination. Added certain items to make it look Indian, like a bear claw braided on top of his head, as well as a single braid, laced into his hair. Also provided a shell necklace for him.

Black background canvas stapled onto a board, tightly fitted. Black also brings up nicely the painted face, and reveals nicely the painted brush strokes.

Discovered later, this Indian is Mow-way (Push Aside), Kotsoteka Comanche, first chief of the Kotsoteka Comanches
