After shearing the sheep, the Navajo women take the wool selected for rug weaving and begin the hard process of cleaning and carding. This is in preparation for spinning it into yarn for the weaving of rugs. It is a Navajo custom the family and friends get together to help each other. In the center of the painting, Martha Arizona, and daughter-in-law, Nora work on the wool while baby Arvena crawls away.

Giclee reproduction on canvas is as visually rewarding as it is technically amazing. These brilliant sharp giclee reproductions are simply the closest duplication of an original artwork that is possible. The word giclee is French and means "spray of ink." Once printed on canvas, the image is comprised of almost 20 billion droplets of richly saturated ink. The ink has a 75 year light fastness and does not need to be glassed.

These beautiful glicees of Ray Swanson paintings look very close to an original when hung on your wall. Each piece is mounted on canvas with 1" deep stretcher bars, gallery wrapped, stretched, wired, and ready to hang.

The artwork in the 1000 Series includes prints of original artwork that sold for $17,000 to $100,000.

This giclee is 20" high by 30" wide.
