ORIGINAL PENCIL AND GRAPHITE DRAWINGS

In the process of creating a painting, I sometimes will do a pencil study of the concept.  For the Kinetic paintings these drawings are the middle view as it will be seen when the Kinetic painting is complete.  Some of the pencil/graphite drawings will be come finished Acrylic paintings on canvas.

I had a chance to photograph this beautiful Harris Hawk as she was transported to a wildlife clinic to be treated for burns from an electrical wire.  She was a beautiful bird with a beautiful spirit.  I knew I would be painting her the moment we met.

This is a preliminary drawing for an original Kinetic Painting of the same name.
The Buffalo Soldier played an important part in Western
History.  Recently freed slaves from the South found work in
the West with the US Army.  "Buffalo Soldiers" were named by Native Americans when they saw that their skin color and hair texture were like buffalo.  The Native Americans said that the soldiers fought like a wounded buffalo and honored their valor in battle. 
My model, Don Parish, does impressions of a Buffalo Soldier in the 9th Cavalry. The first Buffalo Soldier unit was the 10th Cavalry and the 9th was formed from the 10th.   In the Lakota language, Tatanka means “buffalo”.  In the drawing, Don is reclined and smoking a corn cob pipe, one of the few pleasures that a Buffalo Soldier might have had.  The smoke curls from the pipe and begins to turn into two buffalo on the sides of a Medicine Wheel.
Don rightfully takes great pride in the authenticity of his uniform, tack, equipment and his horse, Ghost.   From shackles to glory, Don tells the stories of the Buffalo Soldiers and how they helped settle the Western frontier.
