In this PAIR of paintings, Gilbert Atencio used strong colors applied in a delicate manner. His detail is precise, costuming is accurately presented, and facial features are of utmost beauty. He painted the necklaces by individual beads and the buffalo head coverings in detail. The ruff on the male dancer's arm and the tin cones on the kilt are each presented singly and distinctly. The embroidery on the female's skirt looks to be in three-dimension. There was no detail left unattended. This is the finest presentation of a pair of Buffalo Dancers we have seen. Each painting is signed and dated. The female is dated 1959 and the male 1958.

Original Pastel Painting of Two Pueblo Buffalo Dancers (Learn More Here 🧐)
https://www.adobegallery.com/art/original-pastel-painting-pueblo-buffalo-dancers-ceremony
This pastel drawing of two Ohkay Owingeh Buffalo Dancers is a display of a multitude of colors and vibrant activity by the dancers. One can visualize the sound of the tin cones on the edge of the kilts as the dancers raise and lower their legs. The sound simulates thunder as do the rattles in their hands. Pastel pigments are very difficult with which to work as intensity of color and definition depend on the artist applying the correct pressure of the pastel stick during application. Montoya was an expert with pastel pigments and that was his choice of medium.

https://www.adobegallery.com/art/hopi-pueblo-cottonwood-root-white-ogre-wiharu-katsina-doll-carving
This carving was completed by Hopi -Tewa artist Samuel Neil Kayquoptewa in 1991 at which time Adobe Gallery purchased it and sold it to a client. Now it is back for us to sell again. It is basically a one-piece carving from bottom to top with certain items added separately. The obvious add-ons are the bow in the left hand, the bug eyes and the feathers on and around the head. It appears that everything else is from the same piece of wood.

Three Original Paintings of Koshare with Watermelons by Neil David (Learn More Here 🧐)
https://www.adobegallery.com/art/watercolor-painting-koshare-watermelons-neil-david-hopi-pueblo
This charming set of three original paintings by Neil David, framed together as a single work, features the beloved Tewa or Hano Clowns — known as Koshares — engaged in various stages of watermelon indulgence. Each panel is signed and dated 1987 and showcases David's signature wit and expressive style.
In the first panel, titled Tewa Clown Anticipating Eating This Watermelon, a Koshare's eager expression reveals his overwhelming anticipation. Through exaggerated emotion and gesture, David humorously illustrates the lesson behind gluttony, a common theme in clown performances. The second panel, Tewa Clown in Watermelon Patch, depicts a clown sitting tenderly beside a watermelon in a garden, gently patting it with admiration. The scene captures the clown's mischievous affection and is rendered with the warmth and whimsy that define David's most popular works. In the third panel, Hano Clown Eating Watermelon, the moment of indulgence arrives. With watermelon in hand, the clown is caught in the act of unrestrained enjoyment. The composition, though small in scale, is full of humor and character.
