Blue Fawn Intrigued with a Butterfly [SOLD]

Animals rendered in the color blue must have some meaning but I have not seen information on such as related to the Navajo culture.  The Taos artist Pop Chalee published a Taos Pueblo legend relating to a blue horse so perhaps there is something similar in Navajo culture.

This rendering of a blue fawn by Beatien Yazz is typical of his style of painting animals in a humorous situation.  A butterfly is resting on the fawn’s tail and the fawn is interested or intrigued at the sight.  It is an excellent painting and has just been professionally matted and placed back in the original metal frame.
