Chinle Dog, by Paula Zima, large image and comments.
"Chinle Dog" oil on canvas, h26"x w28" -sold
                   
               
Chinle is the small town near Canyon de Chelly on the Navajo Reservation
           in New Mexico.  Sadly there is a great deal of poverty, along with the great
           Navajo sense of humor, and beautiful traditions.

           A friend and I stayed in a hotel near the canyon for a couple of nights.
           There were several mama dogs skulking around the doors, looking for  
           handouts. This painting shows one of them, with a nice smooth brown coat,
           wishing for something to eat, and her shadow checking out a food bowl.
           Behind them is a spirit dog, who knows that at another level, everything
           is okay, and all is well.
