In this amazingly detailed gouache painting, David Dawangyumptewa presents a tranquil scene of a pair of turtles slowly walking through blades of grass with a beautiful colorful Sun image looking down on them. The painting was executed in gouache with gold leaf and silver paints on handmade paper with deckled edges. The images flow to the edges of the paper.
The Native American painting is floated on a background mat so that the entire paper is visible and not covered with mat board. It is signed Dawangyumptewa and dated ’95 on lower right.
