Continuing on my Scottsdale Art Walk from last Thursday, I stopped in at the Bonner David Gallery on Main Street to see an exhibit of paintings by Nocona Burgess. Burgess is a Comanche from Lawton Oklahoma and he has a unique talent of capturing the essence of the Native American.
You can see more of his work on this link.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. It's just a short drive north of Phoenix.

His work reminds me of early Fritz Sholder.
I'm so happy to be back. There's always something to see and enjoy.
Excellent link, I do like his use of bold colours very much Sharon.
Oh, how I LOVE Native American art, and I envy your ability to live in an area where it is so readily available. Last weekI found out too late but a friend told me about Sun Country's special fare sale, one of which includes Phoenix. I must be more alert to this in the future so I can fly to your fair city for several day to visit all these marvellous cultural spots you visit regularly.
I was so in awe of Burgess' works I saw in Santa Fe... These are brilliant, I love him!
This does look an interesting exhibit. Enjoying your photography.
Vivid, powerful work in these, Sharon.
Some really interesting works!
I could happily live with any of these works, Sharon!
They certainly dramatize certain aspects of Native American features.
