Red Indian ~ Oil Painting by K Henderson




Red Indian, oil and gold leaf on linen, 30 x 40
 This is the 3rd in a series of paintings using the logo of the Indian motorcycle. I was inspired by a red gas tank with gold lettering.
I like the contrast between the bright contemporary background and the more traditional and subdued colors of the American Indian figure.
