"Promises" – Original Oil Painting (18x24)
Promises is a 18" x 24" original realist oil painting by Houston artist Timothy Chappell. Executed in the rich, dramatic tradition of Old Master chiaroscuro, this still life highlights two authentic 1970s hand-carved Hopi Katsinam—the Talavai (Morning Singer) carved by Hopi artist J.M. Pahona of Polacca, Arizona, alongside a Corn Dancer Katsina. Set against raw turquoise stones, ancient pottery sherds, and traditional sand paintings, dramatic side-lighting illuminates the vibrant blues and warm earth tones, bringing life and reverence to the scene.
