This impressive work by Fremont Ellis perfectly exemplifies his Impressionistic style used to portray the everyday life of the native tribes in their home landscapes of the Southwest. Not only is this painting large, in it, Ellis has used a multitude of colors both bright and subdued picturing in perfect harmony a large number of individuals in a procession, the destination church in the background, and the mountainous landscape capped off with a rainbow in the distance. A better example of the artist’s work would be hard to find.
