Having seen an original painting of Koosa, Avanyu and Rainbows by San Ildefonso Pueblo artist Awa Tsireh, printers at Tewa asked J. D. Roybal (Awa Tsireh's nephew) to paint something similar from which Tewa could make prints. Roybal practically copied his uncle's painting in detail, to the amusement of the Tewa staff. This painting is the original by J. D. Roybal from which Tewa did make silkscreen prints.
