“Dine’ Spring” 20″ x 24″ Oil on canvas, framed. $2,300
Right in the middle of the Navajo (Dine’) reservation desert is this miracle spring that the Navajo use for all their irrigation, including corn, one of their important staples. This painting captures a part of the spring that has been captured in a deep, hand dug ravine, so they could build a small bridge for a dirt road to town. The time of year in this painting was winter, when the sage and other brush are bare skeletons that turn pale and subtle fall colors, and then white.
