Painting - Acrylic On Watercolor Paper Bonded Panel
Description
This painting is based on a photograph taken over 100 years ago by Edward S. Curtis. He took on the project to photograph all of the tribes of North America before they disappeared and their cultures vanished.
Chief Joseph whose Indian name was Thunder Rolling in the Mountains, was the leader of the Wallowa band of Indians. The Nez Perce suffered many injustices at the hands of settlers and prospectors, but out of fear of reprisal from the militarily superior Americans, Joseph never allowed any violence against them, instead making many concessions to them in hopes of securing peace. Eventually they were force to move to a Reservation in Idaho. Chief Joseph died in September 1904.
This 9x12 inch painting was done with artist quality acrylic paint on watercolor paper, which was bonded to a fiberboard panel. It was finished with several coats of gloss medium/varnish.
