Native Indian - completed pics
Posted by jgeratic on Monday, September 5, 2011 6:04 PM

A friend dropped by at my workplace one day, asking if I'd be interested in painting this native Indian bust.   It was something different, so I said yes, with my price being a list of artist acrylic paint tubes required for the piece.

Not sure of the scale, but it stands a little over 16 inches in height.  Also unknown is the sculptor, but seams indicate this is a cast of an original.  The medium is pretty brittle, like plaster, and scratches and chips very easily.   The tip of the hawk's beak is missing a bit as is the bottom part of the foremost feather.   The pics presented here were taken just after finishing painting.  I will have to spray on some sort of protective fixitive before handing back to the owner.  Thanks for looking.

regards,
Jack
