Animal Hunt, Acrylic on Canvas, 48" x 48"


This was a painting I did in 1987 in Los Angeles. It is one of a series of paintings that I made in an homage to the Cuna Tribe in Panama. The Cuna Tribe are the creators of the amazing Mola art, a fiber art that looks like a fantastic painting. Molas can often be seen sewn on clothing, or some tourists buy them separately to frame alone or make as pillows. I had to recreate them on huge canvases to appreciate them in my own unique way.

Hey Roomie. I'm so lucky that I get to enjoy this painting in the flesh, so to speak. It looks stunning in our living room. I want to see more of your art posted on this blog, and in the house! Ciao, Ruth
