My young half Sioux model in this painting was adopted as a baby from a very good friend of mine and raised in a loving home. She is wearing a Plains beaded buckskin dress, possibly Crow, and is holding a beautiful old museum quality Sioux doll that was restored and loaned to me by a friend. The horse and rider pictographs painted on the teepee are also Sioux. Little Bare Feet in the Native American culture means “innocence”...which, I felt was a perfect title for this painting.
