I’ve got a bit carried away with these Canadian chiefs.  But I am a bit stuck with how to finish it of on the left.  Any help would be gratefully received on this or any other part.

Thanks guys.  That has saved me a bit of work.  I would have added a little more detail to the decoration of the headdress, but you have convinced me otherwise.

My social conscience has got the better of me.  A bit more detail on the decoration, so as not to upset any First Nation people.  In Plymouth we have become very mindful of this as we have been commemorating the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower, which was part of the ending genocide and civil war in the Americas.  My red ink is obviously not compatible with either my varnish or gloss medium.  I have touched it up a bit, but not much.  Now posted in the gallery.
