           One of the best representations of artwork that I have seen by this artist.  It is highlighted by rich southwestern hues and the masterful detail and emotions the artist conveyed through the Navajo boy.  This painting comes at a great value as there are few of his works available in the open market.  We are offering this painting below the original gallery price from the 1980's.
