Native American Watercolor Portrait J.D Challenger
LARGE RARE AND AUTHENTIC Native American Watercolor Portrait J.D Challenger Signed And Dated. Frame measure 51.5" X 50.5", 47.5" X 46.5". From a Florida Estate, J. D. Challenger (Born 1951) is active/lives in Arizona, Oklahoma. J D Challenger is known for Mod Indian warrior sculpture, paintings. (A LITTLE INFO ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS PARTICULAR PAINING) **** The painting was purchased in the 90's at a special invitation dinner and reception for J.D. Challenger in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I was able to meet with Mr. Challenger as well as the Native American who posed for the painting. J. D. Challenger is currently known to be one of the foremost painters of the West as well as one of the few artists that has been accepted by the Native Americans of the West for his authentic representation. He was a warm and intense person who looked like he just walked off the pages of an old west novel with his long hair and buckskin coat. His love for the West was clearly present in his enthusiasm for his portrait paintings****.
