Moonrise (1988) presents a Navajo woman in a flowing red blanket kneeling in the high desert landscape, cradling a beautifully painted Acoma pottery olla. A massive purple butte rises majestically in the background under a luminous full moon, with stars scattered across the cool blue night sky. The artist uses a sophisticated palette of warm rust and gold tones in the pottery and earth, balanced against the cool purples of the mesa and blue of the night sky. This contemplative work celebrates the beauty of Navajo pottery and the sacred landscape. A stunning recent work for collectors of Gorman paintings, Southwest landscape art, and Native American pottery imagery.
