Happy Birthday Paul Kane!! This Canadian painter was born in 1810 and self-taught. He painted Native Peoples of Canada and Oregon County. Kane traveled extensively, seeking out his subject matter, making sketches to later finish into oil paintings. His work is considered part of Canada's historical record. He did take some liberties at embellishing his work and exercising his artistic license, as exhibited in the painting Flathead Woman and Child below.
