i’m gonna toss this in here as “artwork” but I know it’s not truly in keeping with the theme. however, I’m pretty sure i’ve seen some nail-art enthusiasts among our members and thought they, like me, have pondered attempting this at some point in our lives.

Sculptor Susan Kliewer’s masterpieces have been shared numerous times, but I couldn’t not share this work of hers I’d recently admired.

Artist Karen Clarkson (Choctaw) won a Best of Show award this weekend for her oil painting, “In Her Element” (see 2nd photo). Ms. Clarkson is wearing some beautiful turquoise jewelry!

Martin Grelle, Bent’s Fort Encampment.
I know this man of the Plains isn’t adorned in turquoise, and while he is at Bent’s in Colorado, just north of New Mexico, my story is that he acquired his earrings from a Navajo on the Santa Fe Trail.

Susan Kliewer is no stranger to this thread, but I had to share this new sculpture of hers.
Her First Blanket
Little Vera was so proud to show me her first blanket that she had woven with her mother’s guidance and dad’s encouragement that I decided to buy it. She was so pleased when I gave her the money. After fifty years, I still own it, and I used it for this new sculpture. I hope she went on to become a great weaver, just like her mother. - Susan Kliewer

Art by Craig George (Diné). I’m keenly attracted to contemporary Native American paintings. @TAH posted a painting by this Native artist in 2024.

Beautiful share, @Patina. I love the little maiden on the bicycle’s fork.

I’m amazed at how realistic that blanket appears.

That Ray Swanson artwork is incredible, I thought it was a great photo after I first saw it. Awesome talent, I will definitely remember that name!

There’s no turquoise visible in this one, but I love the subject and the story being told. Fine Western art, pictographs, and petroglyphs are right behind silver and turquoise, for me, and I love just love this painting.

The Comanche painting that appears here can still be found in Palo Duro Canyon. I changed the location a bit to protect it from possible vandalism. It was painted on the rock with red clay and depicts a turkey hunt. The figure on the left is the hunter. The next figure is blessing the hunt and pulling them in, and we can see the three turkeys. In my story-line these cowboys are admiring the talent of this unknown Comanche artist. - Jack Sorenson

Beautiful painting, Aaron, and a first for this artist.
Here’s one of his paintings that will officially induct him into this thread.

Awesome addition, Tom. Such a neat and unique concept and a beautiful execution. The cliff’s shadow really resembles the profile of a Navajo gentleman’s face.

If I’m good for anything it’s adding works by artists that have already been shared, one of my favorites of which is Navajo Al Bahe: so here’s another of his masterpieces.
Emerging From the Canyon, Crow Mother (Hopi)
Grand Canyon is the emergence place of the Hopi People and Crow Mother is the mother of all kachinas, it is only correct to put them both together. - Al Bahe
