About this work

This is a brown paper bag standing upright. On it, a red figure with a feathered headdress is drawing a bow. The background has a blue sky with clouds and a green field. The colors are bright but the lines are rough and uneven. The bag itself is part of the artwork—it’s not just a canvas. The artist used paint, crayons, and pencils to make the picture.
