Kaylee
This is a charcoal portrait of my nieces' daughter Kaylee that I did for their wedding to go along with the sheath. I hadn't done one in awhile and I really enjoyed it as a break from painting. It's done on 18"x24" Strathmore charcoal paper. I think I'll be doing more in the future.

Frank's Sheath
Here's a rawhide sheath I recently made for my nieces' husband Frank. It's made from deer rawhide, cowhide, buffalo, pig and kangaroo with bone and antler beads and button. The cone danglers are horse hair. I read somewhere that the Native Americans believed they would inherit the spirit and traits of the animals they carried. I figured he might need all the help he can get.
Wow, I didn't think it was this long since I had last posted. I've been busy enjoying the weather, getting healthy, planting the garden, doing leather work and painting...and keeping my fluids up. Still have the crappy camera problem but I'll have to live with it for now. I'm going to try to post a little more often now that I have more time.

A friend unfamiliar with blogs asked me how they could comment on specific paintings...I can see where it's not real obvious so all you have to do is click where it says "0 comments" in the white box below this post, fill out the form and hit publish. You can leave a name or be anonymous and I think the thing even has spell-check. I'm happy to get any kind of critique, comment, opinion, rant or rage, good, bad and ugly. You can even send me money if you can't resist but it's definitely not required.
Thanks
