 This portrait of my artist friend was painted from a photo I took at the plein air competition a few years ago. A gift to Bonnie

 

 

The other portrait came from a photo by Denny Dakan and a war shirt designed by Indian artist Ron Schumacher, newphew of Ann Strange Owl from Charlie Eagle Plumes.billys-war-shirt-painting.jpgThe war shirt was ordered and designed by Billy along with Ron but was never made. The war shirt was painted from a design shared with me by Ron.

The War shirt painted for and gifted to the Artist’s Charitable Trust Auction in Loveland, Colorado.
