Buffalo: Top winner also practices with other mediums Continued from Page A-1 Part of the challenge of painting the revolt, he said, was smoothing out the hides, which he gets from states such as Texas, Idaho or Wyoming. The colors come from naturally occurring pigments in New Mexico, save for the indigo, which López said usually comes from South America. Not content with one medium, López brings a renaissance man’s sensibilities to the Spanish colonial tradition. He also practices tinsmithing, metal working, wood and bone carving and painting. And he often wears a wide brimmed hat with a feather and bright buttoned shirts. The artist often makes large-scale pieces. He has already made similarly sized buffalo hide paintings. And in 2004, he built a 20-foot-long death cart called, Doña Sebastiana y Familia. It featured eight or so original carvings on a huge wooden cart. López said the creation was inspired by the damage caused by DWI accidents. The five judges usually come to a unanimous decision for Best in Show, said the market’s floor manager, Nancy Sue Dimit. “Something usually becomes obvious right
away,” she said. In other categories, judges cast ballots to select the winners. Irvin L. Trujillo, a weaver from Chimayó, won the weaving category again with his red, white, yellow and orange stripped tapestry, Rio Grande Frasada. Maria Romero Cash took home the Innovation in Tradition award with her piece, Bad Boys and Bad Girls of the Bible, which features a hand-carved rotating staircase that includes figures of notable biblical characters such as Adam and Eve, David and Bathsheba and Judas Iscariot. And Jacob Martinez won the painted bulto category with his carving and painting of Kateri Tekakwitha, the fourth Native American to receive sainthood from the Roman Catholic Church. Spanish Market kicks off Saturday morning and will end Sunday afternoon in the Santa Fe Plaza.
