Part 1: The piece was beautiful there was an aztec look on this painting, there was a great aray of colors ms. sims used browns, reds, and yellows in this painting.There were deers, and native americans, and tee-pees throughout the whole painting. Ms.Sims used linen that was unstretched so that she could get a look that she had come to love when she moved to Santa FE. She used a new techinique she developed using paints, petroglyphs, and different materials.



Part 2:This piece is Representational/ Abstract This piece is a conbination of both of these you can tell some of the figues and some are abstract. The cultral origin is from Mexico, and the Aztec Indiands

I found this piece at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts Northwest by Barbara Bush library and it was a fassinating piece.
