The sepia toned Native American photographs by Edward S.Curtis are always an inspiration...I simply wish to pay heartfelt tribute to our first Americans and their beautiful culture. This pen & ink drawing was rendered in a loosely spirited style.
You do beautiful work. I enjoy Curtis, also. He did all of us a great service by capturing the images of the native Americans. You give great tribute to him through your work.
Besides being a Fantastic portrait......what I like about it ......IS the "WISE" smile on his lips and his "DANCING eYes!!! You trully captured the essence of "Wisdom" in this Pen & Ink !
