This acrylic portrait of Two Moons was done by Texas portrait artist Juli Koroly

Two Moons, a Northern Cheyenne, was one of three models James Earle Fraser used when he sculpted the indian head nickel. Two Moons was a survivor of the Little Big Horn. I was fascinated by the strength of character in his face and the hint of humor. I wish I knew what was the source of the humor, was it directed at himself or at the man taking his picture.

My inspiration for this portrait was a fascinating lady who for years was seen walking the streets of Seattle. She was the oldest daughter of Chief Seattle and was know by and a favorite of the people of the  city. There remains a small collection of photos of her. I was able to study them and found her face so full of character that I could not resist painting it.

I love the strong features and the ease with which encaustic allows them to be portrayed.
