Helen Hardin Painting - C3775CThis wonderful acrylic painting depicts a Mimbres-style ram or antelope reminiscent of petroglyph drawings one would see on ancient rock walls.  The background is a prototypical example of the detailed style in which Helen often worked.  As is always the case with her, the execution of line and form is impeccable.

The warm earthy tones and charmingly intimate scale of this piece are assets of strength not normally associated with a work of this scale.  The painting is signed in lower right in dark paint, Tsa-sah-wee-eh with the artist's cartouche.
