Bear's Teeth

This the first sketch of ARIKARA Indian medicine man named "Bear's Teeth" from a photo done by the famous photographer Edward Curtis. I find his fasinating. I have found a better copy of the bad photo I have and plan to do another. He suffered from small pox in his youth which left his face terribly scarred. He was only one of many who fell ill from the "whiteman's disease"

ode to Picasso

I have always been fascinated with Picasso's faces and his use of muli-views. We never see a person face in one plane, we all move as we speak but our brain is able to consolidate these views into a single image. I have done several sculptures examining this phenomenon.
This piece is a oil sketch entered into ipad and reworked.

The experiments continue..... This was done on my
ipad with still another new program . I love the
illustrating qualities of the color choices.
