Featured in this lot we have a original work of art on canvas by Sheryl Bodily showing a Native American Chief. Sheryl Bodily was born in Boise, Idaho in 1936 to a family of five children and was son to a farmer. He recalls moving six separate times as a child for farming work, countless farming chores and having the hobby of collecting arrowheads and artifacts in the Rocky Canyon near Meridian, Idaho. Later he was considered a Montanan being a resident of Columbia Falls, Montana. Bodily has won countless awards and Best of Show with his works being widely collectible. Bodily is a well known Montana artist known for his Western Wildlife and landscapes, as well as, his paintings of Native Americans. The painting depicts Chief Moiese standing with a tomahawk and a hide over one arm and wearing a buffalo headdress. The painting shows a wonderful impressionistic art style with a brown background. The painting is signed in the bottom left corner reading "Bodily". The original painting is set into a rustic barn wood frame with more information on the back of the frame. The piece shows good condition overall with some light wear on the frame. The frame measures 11 3/4" wide by 14 3/4" tall with the art measuring 8" wide by 11 1/4" tall.
