The myths and legends of David Paladin's youth inspire the subject matter of his paintings. On the Navajo Nation, spirit beings inhabit the hills, valleys and mountain peaks. This painting is Paladin's visual interpretation of the spirits that roamed the landscape of his childhood.
While in college, he learned to experiment with mixing clay, sand, and mud to develop different textures to fashion his art. This painting has been created using a variety of textures and materials. Four dream-like figures hover in front of a predominately blue background.
