Weaving Turquoise Tales

                                                        An original pastel painting
                                                        24x18", unframed - (mat size 24x30")
                                                         $2,000.00 (plus $35.00 pack & ship)




    The American Southwest, with its Native American cultures and brilliant, open skies,
has long been a source of inspiration for artists and art lovers.  This basket maker's
enduring patience and solemn dignity , as she was weaving her wares, created a
classic Madonna-like, compositional pose, which I emphasized by making her dress
that ethereal, blue-green color.  The use of the pastel medium provided the ability to
capture the colors and textures of the basket weave and the hand-woven blanket.
