About The Artwork
At the heart of the scene, a solitary figure in traditional regalia stands between two deer, symbolic of ancestral guidance. Surrounding them is a glowing grove of aspen trees, their leaves turning brilliant yellows and oranges—
an homage to the changing seasons of New Mexico. A turkey, representing the artist's own clan, joins the journey, while a magpie and soaring eagle overhead symbolize enduring partnership and spiritual vision.
Set against Gchachu’s signature gold leaf sky, this painting is both timeless and transcendent. The metallic background reflects natural light, shifting throughout the day and bringing the work to life in any space.
This meaningful composition blends wildlife, autumn landscapes, and Indigenous storytelling, making it a standout piece for collectors of Native American fine art, gold leaf paintings, and symbolic wildlife artwork.
