Excellent painting.  The beadwork detail is outstanding.

Regards,  Rick

Al, fantastic work! Adding the real feather was a great idea.

Thanks, Boyd. Found that and fixed it.

I dig it, Al.  Up to your usually high standards.

One observation - it looks like some of the bare metal foil may have pulled up on the bottom edge of the gorget.  I think I can see a loose edge there.

Very nice!

Huron Bust
Posted by ajlafleche on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 7:05 PM

Here is my most recent project, La Meridiana’s 200mm bust of a Huron. He’s painted in acrylics with just a touch of burnt sienna oil wash in the corners of the eyes. The gorget is finished in Bare Metal Foil, heavily burnished to show the decoration sculpted in. I used a fly tying feather in place of the cast resin one in the kit. He is displayed on a base I bought at MFCA a couple years ago.
