Carmelita, a 1987 R.C. Gorman oil pastel, depicts a kneeling Native woman in a luminous emerald-green blouse and flowing white skirt, her hands planted gently before her as she tilts her head in quiet contemplation. Gorman softens the background with warm peach and dusty pink hatching that glows around her figure like candlelight. Her dark hair is pulled into a low chignon, and the rich pastel layering gives both the green fabric and her warm skin a velvety, tactile finish. Signed and dated 1989, this original is a standout example of the artist’s vibrant color work. A beautiful acquisition for collectors of Gorman oil pastels, Navajo portrait art, and warm-cool complementary Southwest fine art originals.
