The 2009 Enchanting New Mexico Calendar features superb landscape oil paintings by Navajo artist Willie Murphy of Crownpoint, New Mexico. The realistic works, tinged with romanticism, evoke the everyday life of the Navajo people amidst the spectacular vistas of their homeland. A sense of timelessness and quiet emotion permeates these powerful images of Navajos in their customary pursuits of herding sheep, stocking up at the trading post, and heading home by horseback or wagon.
