For your consideration is a hard to find framed original, signed Tillier Wesley Muskogee Nation painting. Tillier Wesley's graceful art reflects the poignant beauty of a heritage all but lost to the world. One of perhaps just a handful of full-blooded descendants of the Creek Indian tribe, Wesley's paintings serve a dual purpose: they are the expressions of gifted and increasingly popular talent, and they represent the artist's attempt to reclaim a legacy. This piece shows beautiful colors, and fine detail often found with this artist's style. The piece depicts a native indian with a white road, with an elaborate headdress with horns, feathers, fur, and a multicolored band. The indian is holding a buffalo skull at his center. The visible art on this piece measures approximately 4x5" and shows an artist's signature "T Wesley", and is inlayed in a professionally framed, glass covered red and white frame measuring approximately 12x13 1/4".
