Artist's Statement:
I've attempted many times to capture the golden glow of the desert sunset in my paintings. The desert
takes on a really beautiful glow about that time at night. The yellow starquilt depicted in this painting
seemed like the perfect prop for another try; not to mention the beautiful Paiute girl wrapped in the
blanket. The starquilt is a blanket that's designed and made by the Assiniboine, a Canadian tribe that gives them
out as gifts. The girl is part of a family who comes to visit me every year. During that visit we work up
ideas for paintings. This particular pose came about when she just happened to sit down on one particular
rock and the light just happened to be exactly right. It was very spontaneous.
