My friend and founder of
Sacred Road Ministries, Chris Granberry, took the photo I used as reference for this painting. This young Yakima native is doing the Fancy Dance at a Pow Wow from this summer on the reservation. If you are interested in purchasing this painting, half the proceeds will be donated to Sacred Road ministries.

Thought I would show the progression of this painting.....sometimes it is really hard to know when to stop, especially when a painting is going really good from the start......you just have to use your instincts as an artist..........but I really liked the painting at this stage!

Here I sketched the image out on the canvas with a "drawing brush" and a little cad orange with ultramarine blue.
