Most of the Beatien Yazz paintings we have had in the past have been of acrylic or casein paints but he is acknowledged as having painted in oil paints.  This painting appears to be oil on canvas board, the first one I recall seeing.  He is also known to have painted murals at the Navajo Tribal Court Room in the Navajo Police Headquarters, Fort Defiance, AZ.  He is credited with pottery designs, tile designs, prints, fabric designs and designs for greeting cards.  We tend to think of him just producing paintings but he was much more involved in art than that.  He was a very talented man who had a long career from just a young boy to an octogenarian.
