Watercolor of Native American Warrior Geronimo Painting

This watercolor of Geronimo portrays an Apache warrior who was a Native American resistance fighter in the Southern deserts fighting on two fronts: the Mexican as well as US Army troops. Geronimo was not a Sachem but acted independently in a guerilla warfare of retribution, inspired by the deaths of his wife and children at the hands of American troops. His methods and ferocity were legendary and the word 'Apache' still inspires fear. What I have tried to convey is a man consumed by tragedy without the ability to function except in extreme ways. He was not a Native American leader but acted based on his own stimuli. It was to be expected that one man would arise bent on destruction without the depth of a leader like Chief Joseph on how to deal with an encroaching civilization. This painting finds him war-weary, eyes flickering in hatred and exasperation, a tiny, underfed figure with his finger on the trigger of his cheap gun. Dressed in a yellow tunic with a raggedy red scarf, the prospect of Life was extremely hard and unendurable. Perhaps capture put an end to the demands of an impossible pursuit?
