Wears His Glory , oil on linen, 30 x 40


Despite what you may have seen in the movies, the Plains Indians didn't (and don't) wear fancy beaded and quilled shirts everyday. They are for Special Occasions.

These highly decorated shirts were created for honored community members. The hair locks are said to embody personal power. And they add beauty to the shirt

The colors are intensive and interesting; I think the ART is more important and valuable than any of the myths surrounding this culture.
