@TAH has already shared work from Gerard Curtis Delano (1890-1972), but here are a couple more of his that I find enjoyable.

Love these! The first one reminds me of a simple drawing I found in my mom’s old sketchbook from a train trip she took cross country in the mid forties.

I remember you sharing this @Ziacat, I think it’s so neat. It would look great in an old, simple, wooden frame. Thanks for bringing this out again!

This original watercolor of two children being served seed cakes was painted for the children’s book, The Book of Nah-Wee by Carl Moon in 1932. Carl and his wife, Grace, published numerous children’s books centered on the Navajo and Pueblo way of life.
There may not be any turquoise, but silver necklaces and earrings abound!
