Description
Chief White/High Eagle (c. 1825 - February 3, 1914) was a Native American politician and American civil rights leader who served as the hereditary chief of the Ponca from 1870 until 1904. I didn't know his background when I began to paint him. I was drawn to an amazing picture of his aged face- it showed so much life, sorrow, and curiosity...I felt the need right then and there to try and capture it. The blue represents confidence and wisdom- 2 traits that very accurately describe this man.
