Original Shirley C. Capra Navajo Indian Oil Painting in Custom Richard Dirk Rustic Frame

Striking and highly detailed original oil painting on canvas by artist Shirley C. Capra, depicting a traditional Navajo Indian warrior gazing into the distance from atop a rugged boulder while his painted horse patiently waits below. Snow-covered mountain peaks and sweeping western scenery create a dramatic and timeless composition that beautifully captures the spirit of the American Southwest and frontier life.

This exceptional artwork is displayed in a handcrafted oversized rustic frame designed and built by local artist and woodsman Richard Dirk. Constructed using locally sourced natural materials from the Big Bear Lake area, the elaborate blond wood frame features intricate wood detailing accented with raw wood pieces, natural stones, genuine arrowheads, feathers, and naturally shed antlers. These handcrafted embellishments elevate the piece into a true one-of-a-kind western lodge statement artwork.

The painting and custom frame together measure approximately 39" tall x 33" wide, making it a commanding focal point for luxury cabins, ranch homes, lodges, trophy rooms, western-themed interiors, or fine western art collections.

According to previous owners, the piece was believed to have been passed down through family friends connected to legendary western entertainers Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Family lore suggests the artwork may have once been displayed in the couple’s Big Bear Lake estate during the early 1950s. While this provenance has never been officially authenticated, it adds a fascinating layer of western history and storytelling to this already remarkable collector piece.

A rare combination of authentic western fine art, handcrafted rustic craftsmanship, and mountain lodge character.
