Bravado! A Native American brave in oils on a 16"x 20" canvas, ready for framing.  I enjoy and find it a challenge to capture the beauty of the Native Americans. I grew up hearing about my Native American heritage- part Choctaw, part Cherokee. Doing a lot of family research and genealogy the last few years, I still haven't been able to find out how far back that blood line goes, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the beautiful culture and wonderment of these great people. Thanks for reading my blog, and viewing my work.

"Bravado" American Indian, original painted in oils on a 16"x20" stretched canvas.   One of my favorite photographers of Native American Indians is Edward S. Curtis (1868 – 1952).Curtis dropped out of school in the sixth grade, soon building his own camera, and by the age of seventeen became an apprentice photographer . Later, he was offered the job of photographing a group of Native American Indians, which seems to be the beginning of his artistic life. So many people love the emotion that Curtis emits from his work. Nearly all of his photos bring to the viewer a feeling and understanding of the trying times for these people, most of whom were poor, sick, hungry, and still attempting to keep some sort of dignity in spite of the horrible hardships they had endured. I tried to capture these hardships in the eyes of this brave warrior. Thanks for looking! For purchasing information, please contact me at : Sandra Reeves Cutrer sandrasart777@aol.com src...
