"Coperta", 48"x24", acrylic on canvas.
Today I've posted a painting that was created in 2007. I titled the painting "Coperta", which means blanket. Based on the colors and patterns of a Native American blanket. I was inspired to create this painting after attending the annual Little Big Horn Days in Hardin, MT. The annual celebration of the native Crow people and western heritage was really special. The colors and styles of the Crow Indian costumes, the dancing, the drum beat and singing were unforgetable. I used a texture technique to imply a feel of wood grain in the paint along with deep reds, rusts and tan earthy tones. This painting is now owned by a private collector in Sioux Falls, SD.
