This is a complex smaller jar by Diane Lewis-Garcia.  While she is known for her miniatures, this large jar captures her dynamic painting style.  There are 12 birds painted on the jar.  There is a hummingbird, quail family, parrot, peacock, turkey, and others.  The birds are surrounded by flowers.  The rim is painted with a cloud design.  They are each intricately painted with various clay slips and complex designs.  The jar has a beautiful flow of imagery as it is turned.  All the various colors are natural clay slips.  It is an exciting modern interpretation of classic Acoma imagery.  The jar is signed, “D. Lewis-Garcia”.
