**Originally Listed At $400** Walter Thomas "Tom" Grice (American, 1943-2011). Oil on canvas, ca. 2000. Signed "T. Grice" on lower right. A wonderful painting of a Native American riding a beautiful brown and white horse by American artist Tom Grice. The brave wields a long spear and carries a quiver as well as a drum decorated with a horned bull head motif across his body. Though bare-chested, he dons hide leg coverings and a grand pectoral. The horse s back is covered with a voluminous wool blanket boasting vibrant hues of magenta with black trim. Gazing out toward the viewer with a serious expression, the man s visage is crowned by a feathered headdress atop centrally-parted hair with braids falling well past his shoulders. Grice rendered the western landscape, replete with desert brush and big sky, in shades of azure, peach, lavender, sienna, and sage - a brilliant color palette inspired by the Taos School.
