| Geronimo |
Today's entry in my Daily Paintworks auction is "Geronimo", an original pen & ink portrait from my Faces West Gallery. This rendering was completed using the stippling, or pointillism technique, with black and brown inks, which gives the portrait a sepia-like look, sort of like the old tintype photographs.
Geronimo was born in 1829 in what is today western New Mexico, but was
then still Mexican Territory. Embittered by the murder of his family by
Mexican troops in 1858, Geronimo and his band of guerrilla warriors
ferociously fought and terrorized intruders entering Apache lands of the
Southwest. In 1875, all Apaches west of the Rio Grande were ordered to
the San Carlos Reservation. Geronimo escaped from the reservation, and
for more than a decade, managed to elude the troops who gave chase.
When Geronimo finally surrendered in 1886, he was the leader of the last
American Indian fighting force to finally capitulate to the United
States.

Yesterday's featured Artist of the Month (for February) listing was Dirk Dzimirsky, from Germany, and continuing my International theme again for March, allow me to
introduce you to Natasha (Natalia) Denger, originally from Ekaterinburg
City, in the Ural region of Russia. Natasha has been living in the US
for the past 12 years, and has been a member of FineArtAmerica since
July of 2012. Art is Natasha's passion, and she has been
drawing/painting ever since she was 8 years old. She has many small
sized original drawings and paintings, which make great gifts for any
occasion, and as you can see, the work is realistic, finely detailed and
carefully finished.
Pictured here are some examples of her work. Flower Girl was completed in Graphite, while Cold Stare was done in Charcoal Pencils on Canson paper and Owl Drawing
was done in Colored Pencils. Click on the images to view the larger
versions of the artwork. The link in the title above will take you over
to her Profile page at FineArtAmerica. Many of Natasha's original
drawings/paintings are for sale, and you can contact her directly
through FineArtAmerica if something strikes your fancy. She also
accepts commissions for original pet/people portraits. Here are links
to some of Natasha's other galleries/storefronts.
