Colores de Ella - Original Prismacolor
by Amado Pena
This is an original work of art,
executed in Prismacolor and pencil, by Mestizo artist Amado Pena. Titled Colores de Ella (Colors of Her), this work shows
the rich colors often seen in Native American weavings and pottery. The work is signed by the artist in the lower left corner
of the image. (Prismacolor is a bright color palette medium similar to oil pastel.) From a series called "The Mestizo
Series".
The work is matted and mounted in a raised manner, giving it the effect of floating in the frame. The pale
violet matte contrasts well with the colors used in the image.
