“War Indian on Bareback” by Shirley C. Capra in Custom Rustic Western Frame by Richard Dirk

Exceptional original painting titled “War Indian on Bareback” by artist Shirley C. Capra, featuring a dramatic western scene of a Traditional Native American rider charging amongst wild horses preparing for battle. Rich movement, warm earth tones, and detailed western imagery bring this powerful frontier composition to life, making it an extraordinary centerpiece for any rustic or western-inspired space.

This one-of-a-kind original artwork is displayed in a newly handcrafted oversized rustic frame created by local woodsman and artist Richard Dirk. Built using locally sourced natural materials from the Big Bear Lake area, the elaborate frame incorporates raw wood, natural lake stones, genuine arrowheads gathered near the historic Lucky Baldwin Mine, naturally shed wild antlers, and decorative feathers. These handcrafted details create an authentic rustic lodge presentation unlike anything else.

Measuring approximately 33" wide x 46" tall, this impressive original painting commands attention and is perfectly suited for luxury cabins, ranch homes, lodges, trophy rooms, western collections, or mountain retreats.

According to the previous owners, the piece was believed to have once belonged to legendary western entertainers Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, who reportedly owned a lakefront estate in Big Bear Lake during the 1940s–1950s. While this history has never been officially authenticated, it adds a fascinating story and western heritage connection to this already remarkable piece.

A truly unique collector artwork blending western fine art, handcrafted rustic craftsmanship, and mountain lodge character.
