Isleta Pueblo Painting Houses on a Hill by Ed Jojola - Shirpoyo - C3872
Some of Shirpoyo's exhibits were with the Santa Fe Indian Market, Colorado Indian Market, Glenwood Springs Fall Arts Festival, Colorado, and New Mexico State University. He was featured in articles in the Denver Post, Albuquerque Journal, and Dallas News, along with various travel section magazines throughout the United States.
Many of Shirpoyo's paintings are owned by patrons throughout the United States as well as Canada, England, France, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, and South America, to name a few. It was with much pleasure that we accepted this large watercolor brought to us by a resident of Santa Fe.
Shirpoyo basically painted scenes in and around his village of Isleta Pueblo. This watercolor features a couple of adobe houses on a hilltop at the pueblo. There are ladders leaning against the buildings, horno ovens outside in the yard, and a female in colorful clothing heading toward one of the houses. The foreground is awash in beautiful fall colors as the native grasses began their annual sleep.
