His work can be found in collections at the Heard Museum in Phoenix Arizona; the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the Museum of Norther Arizona. Now this painting represents the Navajo oral tradition beging taught by grandfather to grandson. In the evening time after all the livestock and chores have been tended to. The painting like others is done with precision. The colors are brilliant and complement each other. A beautiful painting to add to your collection.
