I had an urge to depart from my usual neutral colored background. Yep, this is colorful.

The title comes from a Quote from Black Elk Speaks, by John G. Neihardt

"And as he spoke of understanding, I looked up and saw the rainbow leap with flames of many colors over me."

The American Indian girl wears a striped shawl. An eagle feather adorns her hair.

Age of Wisdom by K Henderson

These three women wear striped Trade Blankets.

Trade blankets have long been an integral part of Native American culture. They're used for clothing, bedding, warmth, ceremonial dances and gifts for important occasions.

 The original Indian trade blankets were the multi-striped point blankets imported by the Hudson's Bay Company from English woolen mills. Trade blankets were among the earliest items of exchange between American Indians and Europeans fur traders in the 1700's. From 1780 to 1890 the blanket was a staple in every fur trader's inventory and thousands upon thousands found their way into indigenous hands.

Q: Do you ever paint women?

A: Yes, but not often

I did a commission of a young American Indian woman earlier this year and felt a need to paint another. And I wanted to keep it simple yet interesting.

This young woman wears a striped shawl and a red scarf and captures you with here gaze and slight smile.

Commissioned Painting by K Henderson

Commissioned Painting, 30 x 30, oil on linen

I used this model several years ago for a painting. A collector saw the painting but missed out on purchasing it. The beautiful model made enough of an impact that the image stayed in his mind. I was recently commissioned to create this painting using the same young American Indian woman.
