Description
This painting has been inspired in part by the following quotation
“Inside of me there are two dogs. One is mean and evil and the other is good and they fight each other all the time. When asked which one wins I answer, the one I feed the most.”
But over that, it is my attempt to breathe life into the old black & white and sepia images of the man who was Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake), a powerful leader of his people, with the heart of both a fearsome warrior and a profound philosopher. Sitting Bull was a man to be reckoned with and his enemies, including George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry, underestimated him at their peril. This is my humble attempt to pay homage to this great man.
I must also acknowledge and give homage to my fellow artist and friend, Joe Triano (whom you will find on FAA), for the inspiration of both palette and subject in his fantastic portfolio of work. Check him out!
