Dream Spirit


I just finished this painting today. Dream Spirit is oil on canvas, 30" x 40". This painting gives you an idea of how I start all my warrior paintings. I do an underpainting in raw or burnt umber. This underpainting was taken a step further to become a finished sepia toned painting.

Top Hat, 36″ x 36″, oil on canvas . During the 1800’s , in an attempt to appease the American Indians and to help negotiations leaders of the tribes would be invited to Washington, DC.
