Lindsey Twa,
Of course you probably know this, but there is a fantastic painting of 
Dessalines by Seneque Obin which was included in the 1992 Milwaukee Art Museum 
Exhibit (see A Haitian Celebration: Art and Culture, plate 5).
Hector Hyppolite also did a great portrait of Dessalines ( see Renaissance in 
Haiti, plate 13).  Neither of these actually speak to your subject: Dessalines 
as Ogoun.  In fact, I have seen quite a lot of Haitian paintings, and have not 
seen all that many images of Dessalines, except in cases of series of the four 
early leaders.
