Excellent painting .  The war paint & beadwork are exceptional.  Thanks for sharing.

Great bust! And I have to agree that the beads (wampom???) look nicely detailed.

Great job!  Gives me ideas for an ornament for next year.......

Thanks for the comments, guys. Gamera, incoming PM. New Hampshire, sounds like you're going to have a pretty interesting tree!

Al,

Beautiful.

How do you pick your subjects?  Is it the 'kit' that attracts you, or are you motivated to portray particular groups/tribes, etc.?

Thanks, Boyd,

As to choice...I started down the path of Indian figures after having done a lot of ACW. The first ones I got were the first two Andrea Woodland figures. I was seriously inspired by the work of Christian Petit of France who brought his work over tpLong Island and World Expo. Initially, I was focussed on the Eastern tribes, then found a plains figure or two while bottom feeding at a show. Generally, it's the pose or the box art that draws me in. As far as this bust...I have no idea where or when I got it!
