When it came to the props (dresses, saddles and trappings) used in his
paintings, again David relied on family and friends. His wife Jane made
the dresses worn in the paintings "Mountain Lamb" and "The Guardian";
Charlotte Walters made the dresses for "Sacajawea", "Waiting For Her
Warrior" and "The Princess".
David knew that the Crow and the Nez Perce tribes lived in the same
area and often traded among themselves. The Nez Perce were known
for their Appaloosa horses, so when David decided to do a portrait of a
Crow Princess he felt it would have been quite possible for her to have
a Nez Perce Appaloosa.
A good friend of ours, Bob Porter of St Michaels, Md owned a seven
time National and World Champion Appaloosa. He agree to let David
photograph and use the horse in his painting "The Princess". Another
friend of David's, Linda Holly of Florida (known world-wide for her Indian
saddles and trappings) made the saddle and trappings shown in the
painting. When David painted the portrait of Anawake (pronounced
"Ana waak e") Clinch she was the reigning Native American Indian
Association Princess, a title she held for over ten years.
Although David's print "The Blue Belt" is not shown in this section I feel
it's the right place to acknowledge the maker of the dress worn by
Sacajawea in the painting. Kathy Smith of Montana is famous for her
museum quality reproductions of Indian clothing. You will see her
clothes in many feature films including "Dances With Wolves".
David never hesitates to recognize the expertise and help he has
received from his many talented friends...
