Dream Girl (1985) by R.C. Gorman, a tender oil pastel work capturing a Navajo woman in a kneeling, folded position wrapped in soft lavender and rose tones. Her serene face is rendered in warm peach with dark hair drawn up, eyes closed in a state of quiet introspection. The flowing fabrics pool beneath her in shades of pale pink and deep purple, creating a sense of movement and grace even in stillness. The warm background embraces the figure, and Gorman’s characteristic expressive linework defines each contour. This intimate composition speaks to dreams, inner peace, and the spiritual strength of Navajo women. Perfect for collectors of oil pastel works and tender figurative Southwest art.
